    Banana Granola Muffins

    I love my breakfasts!

    And I particularly like the ritual of sitting down, with a book or newspaper and eating it quietly, before the day's madness takes over. Its eggs and toasts some days, granola with yogurt most days and then these whole grain Banana Granola Muffins, served warm and fresh from the oven when I have a crazy start to the day ! Having a couple spotty bananas helps the case 🙂

    I find granola muffins the easiest and fastest treat to bake. The ingredients are always so basic and you really just need two bowls and a spoon. Twenty minutes later, you are rewarded with a delightful treat straight from the oven.

    You can pretty much use any kind of flour..all-purpose, buckwheat, whole grain. I've even tried them with amaranth flour. This time though, I've added popped amaranth to the batter. These muffins are very lightly sweetened with bananas and powdered jaggery. The homemade granola also adds a touch of sweetness, and a lovely texture to the baked product, with all the nuts, dates and seeds in it. I love oomphing it up with even more seeds and sweet-tart cranberries.

    These certainly ain't your regular plain ol' bakes....these are fully dressed, all "ready to go for a party " banana muffins! Grab some on your way to work, for an after school snack, with your 11 o'clock coffee or just simply sit down and enjoy one for your breakfast.

    Do take a look at my earlier post of  MANGO COCONUT MUFFINS for tips on making light and fluffy muffins every time!

    If you'd like to make these granola muffins VEGAN -

    • Use flax egg instead of egg. 1 Tbsp + 3 Tbsp water. Mix in a small bowl and let sit for 10 minutes till thick and gelatinous.
    • Use non-dairy yoghurt instead of regular yoghurt.

      These are beautiful! Are the muffins dry? I would think the granola would soak up a lot of liquid.

        Thank you Mimi! Granola does soak a lot of liquid, but here I think between the bananas,yogurt,oil and egg, there's enough to keep them very soft and moist.:) I hope you get a chance to try them. I'd love to get your feedback. Merry Christmas!

      […] If you’ve been following my cooking journey, you know we are a family of granola devotees. Most mornings, we grab it for breakfast. If not that, then for a mid-evening snack. To satiate the craving of it, I’ve made Gluten free Buckwheat Granola, Banana Granola and just about everything in between (read: granola muffins). […]
