Children can be very difficult when it comes to eating fruit and vegetables, but they are soon converted when they try a Muffin that made out of fruit. Muffins are the ideal lunch bag treat because they are relatively low in fat and sugar, and – as long as your child doesn’t have a nut allergy – you can add in some useful protein. Try Banana Pecan Muffins!

This recipe makes 8 muffins. You can always double the recipe to make more.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup flour (all-purpose or whole wheat), sifted
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 cup pecans, chopped
  • 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
  • 5 tablespoons milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons flax seeds (optional)

Note: if you’re using flax seeds, use 2 teaspoons less flour

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Place muffin paper liners in a muffin pan. Divide the batter evenly, filling the paper liners about 3/4 each, and bake at 375 degrees F for 20-25 minutes until golden. I sprinkled some sugar on “muffins” right before they went in the oven. It creates a nice crunchy top.
