What Substitutions can I make in these Whole Wheat Banana Walnut Muffins?

  • honey: You can skip the honey and replace it with pure maple syrup which is healthy too. Alternately, you can use sugar or brown sugar for a more tender muffin, however these Banana Walnut Muffins would no longer be refined sugar free.
  • whole wheat: For this recipe, I used sprouted whole wheat, feel free to use regular whole wheat flour, whole wheat pastry flour, or even Indian atta (durum flour). You can also use all-purpose white flour, however they will no longer be nutritious.
  • gluten-free: For gluten-free muffins, replace the whole wheat sprouted flour with gluten-free flour.
  • dairy-free: For dairy-free muffins, replace whole milk with dairy-free milk, such as cashew milk or almond milk.
  • eggless: You can replace the egg with 1 tablespoon of vinegar + 1 teaspoon baking soda. I haven’t tried this so I’m not sure how the results will be.
  • vegan: For vegan muffins, replace the honey, milk, and egg with the substitutes mentioned above.

How to Serve these Banana Walnut Muffins?

  • These muffins taste best warm. Split them in half and toast them in a toaster oven.
  • Add peanut butter or any nut butter. 
  • Add grass-fed butter, it’s delicious.
  • You can also serve these with jam.

    These muffins were so delicious! I was able to make about 15. Not usually a huge fan of whole wheat flour but I was even able to tell the difference. I would definitely make it again!

    It turned out superb and my 2 year old loved it. I used 1/4 cup of yogurt instead of the egg.
    Thank you
