julan Recipe ⇒ Whole Wheat Date Nut Muffins

This is my latest favorite muffin recipe! I love to have healthy muffins on hand for a quick breakfast option. I freeze the muffins after they cool and reheat them for 1 minute in the microwave before eating.

• 1 cup buttermilk
• ⅓ cup honey
• ½ banana, mashed
• ¼ cup canola oil
• 1 egg

• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon flax seeds, or more to taste
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, or more to taste
• ¼ teaspoon salt
