These fresh milled banana muffins with applesauce are soft, and naturally sweet without adding any sugar (ripe bananas and applesauce make them sweet enough!). If you mill your own flour and need an easy, reliable recipe, this one will not disappoint. It’s simple enough for a weekday morning and good enough for sharing!
Servings 12 muffins

Ingredients

  • 140 g applesauce
  • 60 g butter melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 bananas mashed, medium ripe
  • 2 eggs
  • 260 g fresh milled hard white wheat
  • 10 g baking powder
  • 3 g salt about ½ teaspoon

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C / 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Add the fresh milled flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Stir just until everything comes together. Don’t overmix.
  2. Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes. Fresh milled flour absorbs liquid slowly, and this short rest helps the batter thicken and improves the texture.
  3. Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups.
  4. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Let cool for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  6. In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Add applesauce, melted butter, and eggs. Mix until combined.

Flour Options

I made these muffins with hard white wheat, which gives them a slightly heartier texture and more structure.
If you’d like to use soft white wheat instead:
  • Use 240 to 250 g soft white wheat flour
  • Keep everything else the same

Soft white wheat makes the muffins more tender and cake-like. The batter will also thicken faster, so the 10-minute rest is still helpful but not quite as critical.
Both versions work well. Hard white gives you a sturdier muffin, soft white gives you a softer crumb.

Helpful Notes

Sweetness:
 These are lightly sweet from the bananas and applesauce. If your bananas aren’t very ripe, you can add a spoon or two of honey or sugar.
Storage:
Store at room temperature for one day, then refrigerate for up to four days. They also freeze well.
