Wheat Flour Banana Muffins | Banana Muffins | Breakfast Muffins

Banana Muffins, a soft, spongy and delicious breakfast muffins. As i had mentioned before in my chocolate banana bread recipe , bananas are great for baking. It gives great flavor and softness to the baking products.

Since we love banana flavors a lot, i have been using them in baking a lot lately and these banana muffins are our recent favorite, they are great for breakfast or as mid time snacks. If you do like banana flavor, give this muffins a try!!!

Here in today's recipe, i have used combination of wheat flour and all purpose flour. Previously, i had baked them with only wheat flour and it turned out tasty but little dense, the light and airy texture was missing!

So in the next time, i have reduced the wheat flour and added a little all purpose flour, the texture and taste was so amazing. Ever since i have been baking these muffins with combination of both flours. It's also healthy compared to use all purpose flour alone.

Coming to food blogging, recently i have started sharing videos on my youtube channel, so far, i like the process of video making. I have heard from many food bloggers( who make videos regularly) that editing video is the most annoying thing to do in the video making process.

But to be honest, i like the editing process more than the shooting process, obviously it takes lot of time since i'm so new into this, but creating something on your own from the start to end gives such a immense satisfaction, right??

I'm in that phase now, also learning something totally new is really exciting !!! Do check out my youtube channel and let me know your feedback, now let's checkout the recipe for banana muffins.

Highly recommend to use baby spinach for this recipe for vibrant color. Compared to the regular spinach, the color of the baby spinach is so vibrant hence the muffin also would be bright green color.
Try to use fresh spinach which is more greener and vibrant.
Don't over cook, remove from the oven when the toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean

How to store the leftover

It stays well for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. If you like to store them for more days, put it in the freezer. Microwave it for a couple of secs before serving, it tastes as good as fresh !
