• Ready In: 35mins

ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup sugar (use 3/4 cup if your bananas are not ripe enough and kiwis are tart)
• 2 cups flour

• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3⁄4 cup low-fat plain yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1. Combine the first 6 ingredients (DRY) in a large mixing bowl; set aside.
2. Mix yogurt, milk, oil, egg, vanilla and mashed bananas together in a smaller bowl until well-combined (WET).
3. Add WET mixture to the DRY mixture, mix until just combined (DO NOT OVERMIX) - lumps are ok.

This recipe was delicious.! It made 21 very moist muffins. I used organic Einkorn flour, 3/4 cup of coconut sugar and 3 TB of organic Olive Oil, I used whole milk and Greek yogurt. Even though it seemed like 25 minutes was long as they were dark on the edges, they were very moist inside and was hard to keep from eating them completely up!

Amazing! For dietary reasons made these GF with Red Mill GF mix. Also substituted coconut sugar in place of the cane sugar. My GF family members are acclaiming these as the best GF muffins they have ever had!

These muffins were definitely moist and everything I expect in a muffin. I just don't love the kiwi in the muffin. I had some kiwi that was getting soft, which is why I picked out this recipe, hoping I would like it as much as the stuff I make out of the soft bananas. Unfortunately, it just wasn't my style.

Excellent muffins! Definitely not bland. Very moist and flavourful! I made as per recipe last time but now I am gluten free so I am going to try to modify it tonight. I'll let you know how it turns out.

The chopped kiwi reminded me of raspberries believe it or not. It was much better than I had expected. So if anyone is wondering how big to cube the kiwi my suggestion would be the size of a rasberry.
