These are delicious and very nutritious! They are not made with any butter or oil but stay nice and moist thanks to the bananas, milk, and yogurt. The spelt flour makes them nice and doughy, too.
(makes 12 muffins)
Ingredients:
- 2 C spelt flour
- 1/2 C brown sugar
- 1/2 C finely ground flaxseed
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 3 very ripe bananas, mashed
- 3/4 C skim milk
- 1/2 C plain (or vanilla) nonfat Greek yogurt
- Optional add ins: 1/2 C each of: walnuts, raisins, blueberries, dark chocolate chips, etc.!
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 300 (spelt bakes more quickly than regular flour!).
2. In two large bowls, separately mix dry (flour, sugar, flax, cinnamon, baking powder/soda, salt) and wet (bananas, milk, yogurt, add-ins) ingredients.
3. Add wet ingredients to dry, stirring until mixed.
4. Spoon into a cooking-sprayed or nonstick muffin pan. Top each muffin with a sprinkle of raw oats so they look pretty ![]()
5. Pop them in the oven! Bake for 20 to 25 minutes – fork check to make sure they are done.

I am recently new to your blog and loved it right away! I just baked these last night and they are so delicious!

Spelt flour is the best
Do you have nutrition info for these? I think they’d make a rocking breakfast or lovely afternoon snack!
I don’t, I’m sorry. I will try to calculate it sometime in the near future but I’m so busy with school right now I don’t think I’ll have a chance to!
Hi Anne, love your blog. Made several of your recipes all great so far. This one especially a big hit with my kids
Also quick point, I enjoyed your yoga blog. It gave me motivation to give yoga a try again. I am a bit like you…if I am not in pain or sweating profusely I have not had a good workout!
Yay I’m so glad you’re enjoying the blog and my recipes! And keep up the yoga
Hi Anne! Can you leave out the flaxseed from these muffins?
Sure!
Just made these with a handful of oats, and substituted almond milk for regular, and pear for the banana!
They are delicious and my three and five yr old helped make them!
How fun! Love that you got your kids involved in helping to make them!
