Ingredients  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 very ripe, darkly speckled bananas, mashed well (about 1 1/2 cups)

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts, pecans or chocolate chips

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a muffin pan with baking cups or coat the cups with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking soda and salt.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, eggs, Greek yogurt, olive oil and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Stir in the chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
  • Fill the muffin pan cups 2/3 full.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, 18 to 22 minutes.
  • Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool for 10 minutes in the pan then remove and serve.

Notes

  • Store: Allow them to cool completely, then transfer them to an airtight container or resealable plastic bag. Store at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze: To freeze the muffins, simply place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until firm. Once they're frozen, you can transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container and store them for up to 3 months. When you're ready to eat them, just thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature before reheating if desired.
