Use up your extra bananas and zucchini in these healthy banana-zucchini muffins. Serve them for breakfast with fresh fruit or as an afternoon snack with a glass of milk. If you prefer a larger muffin, these can be baked in a 10-cup muffin tin instead of a 12-cup tin.

Ingredients

¾ cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup white whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¾ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
⅔ cup sugar
¼ cup avocado oil or canola oil
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup mashed ripe banana (about 2 medium)
1 cup shredded zucchini (about 1 medium)

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
Whisk all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt in a large bowl; set aside. Whisk eggs, sugar, oil and vanilla in a medium bowl. Stir in banana and zucchini until well combined. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Divide the batter between the muffin cups. Bake until the muffins are lightly golden and spring back when lightly touched, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack. Cool slightly before serving.

Tips

To make ahead: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or wrap individually in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 1 month.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
