Step 1: Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step ensures that your muffins bake evenly and become nicely golden on the outside.
Step 2: Prepare Your Muffin Tin: Grease a muffin tin with coconut oil or line it with muffin liners for easy removal. This will help prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
Step 3: Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat pastry flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. This combination of dry ingredients will give your muffins a lovely flavor and texture.
Step 4: Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the honey, Greek yogurt, mashed bananas, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla. Mix until well combined and smooth.
Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold them together using a rubber spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
Step 6: Fill Muffin Tins: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. If desired, sprinkle rolled oats on top for an added crunch.
Step 7: Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The tops should be golden brown and spring back when lightly touched.
Step 8: Cool: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
