These Whole Wheat Banana Bread Muffins are absolutely divine. The recipe is super easy to whip up and you can have these babies in the oven in no time and be eating in 25 minutes! They are tender and loaded with banana flavor. The sanding sugar on top is optional but adds a delicious crunch.
This is my favorite recipe for Banana Muffins because they come out so perfect and tender every time. If you love the taste of banana bread then these will be your faves too. If you’re not a whole wheat fan, just substitute all-purpose flour for the 1/2 cup. They will still turn out great and have less of an earthy taste.
