Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

1 cup mashed bananas
1 cup cooked red lentils
¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
¼ cup neutral vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Dry Ingredients

1 + ½ cups whole wheat flour scooped & leveled
½ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper or silicone liners.
In a large bowl, combine mashed bananas, cooked lentils, almond milk, vegetable oil, vinegar, and vanilla. Mix well.
1 cup mashed bananas, 1 cup cooked red lentils, ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk, ¼ cup neutral vegetable oil, 2 teaspoons vinegar, 1 teaspoon vanilla
Add flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt, stirring gently until just combined. Don’t overmix.
1 + ½ cups whole wheat flour, ½ cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon salt
Divide the batter evenly into muffin cups and bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for natural sweetness and rich flavor.
Don’t overmix to keep muffins soft and fluffy.
Cook lentils until tender for the best texture.
Spoon and level flour instead of scooping to avoid dense muffins.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
