What You Will Need
- Bananas – Who would have guessed? You will need 3 ripe bananas that are mashed. It is very important to have ripe bananas because that is going to be your main sweetener in these muffins.
- Eggs – You will need 2 large eggs.
- Greek Yogurt – 1/2 cup of plain, nonfat Greek yogurt.
- Unsweetened Applesauce– 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce. Make sure it is unsweetened so you don’t add any extra sugar!!
- Vanilla Extract – 1 teaspoon, for flavor.
- Flour – 1 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour. Oat flour works great too!
- Monk Fruit– 1/2 cup of granulated monk fruit, Swerve, or coconut sugar. I love monk fruit in this recipe!
- Salt – 1/2 teaspoon.
- Baking Soda – 1 teaspoon.
- Cinnamon & Nutmeg – 1 teaspoon and 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg.
- Optional Toppings – Additional cinnamon & nutmeg, nut butter, walnuts, brown swerve, etc.
How To Make Them
- Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a standard sized muffin tin with nonstick spray, such as avocado oil spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together mashed banana, Greek yogurt, monk fruit, vanilla extract, and eggs.
- Add in the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix until just combined. Don’t over mix! You can also mix in ingredients like chocolate chips or nuts here.
- Pour the batter into your muffin tin evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are browned and a toothpick comes out clean. Top with a little spread of butter or a drizzle of nut butter for the ultimate treat.
How To Store Them
Store your banana muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 6 days or on the counter at room temperature for 4 days.

Gluten-Free Tip
If you’re looking to make these muffins gluten-free, simply substitute oat flour for all-purpose flour. Oat flour gives these muffins a slightly nutty flavor and works perfectly with the Greek yogurt to create a soft and moist texture. I’ve tried both oat and all-purpose flour in this recipe, and both have produced amazing results—so feel free to choose based on what’s available or your dietary preferences!
Why Choose Greek Yogurt in Muffins?
Greek yogurt is a fantastic ingredient in baking, especially in recipes like these banana muffins. Not only does it add moisture and tenderness, but it also provides a boost of protein and probiotics, making these muffins a great choice for a healthy breakfast or snack. Using Greek yogurt instead of butter or oil is a healthier option, and it helps reduce the calorie count without compromising on taste or texture.

How many cups banana is this? I freeze my ripe bananas & they all mush together, lol
I haven’t measured bananas by the cup haha, but if I had to guess I would say around 1 cup!
I like these muffins, I’ve made a few modifications and once made 12 instead of 24 (they were huge). Easy recipe and they freeze well!
Hey Sue! I am so happy to hear that! I haven’t tried freezing these before, so that’s good to know!
I made these last night and they were delicious! Thank you!
Woo! I am SO glad! 🙂
