Banana Nut Muffins Made With Fresh Milled Flour
There’s nothing quite like the comforting aroma of freshly baked banana nut muffins wafting through the kitchen. These muffins are made with fresh milled flour and are perfectly sweet, hearty, and moist. Whether it’s breakfast on the go or an afternoon treat, these muffins deliver on flavor and heartiness every time.
Ingredient List
Freshly Milled Flour
Freshly milled flour provides whole-grain goodness, is packed with nutrients and perfect for wholesome baking.
Banana
For this muffin recipe, I recommend a very ripe, or even overripe banana. Overripe bananas will give you the best flavor, and have the most sweetness. If I have have overripe bananas that I don’t know what to do with, I will peel them and freeze them. That works perfectly for recipes like this! Just make sure you thaw your banana thoroughly before adding to the batter.
Walnuts
Bananas and walnuts are just two peas in a pod. I have also used pecans and sliced almonds as well. If you want to add a little decadence, add some chocolate chips (you can thank me later)
Milk
Milk keeps the muffins moist and tender. For a dairy-free option, substitute with almond, oat, or coconut milk. Full-fat coconut milk adds extra creaminess.
Egg
Eggs give the muffins structure and help them rise beautifully.
Melted Butter
Melted butter adds richness to the muffins. Make sure it is cooled slightly before adding it to the batter. You can substitute with coconut oil, avocado oil, or any neutral-flavored oil.
Honey
Honey naturally sweetens the muffins and adds a warm flavor. For sweetener alternatives, use maple syrup, agave nectar, or even brown sugar for a different twist.
This recipe also includes salt, Baking Soda, and Baking Powder
Tools and Equipment
Grain Mill
There are two main types of grain mills that are easily available on the market today. A stone mill and an impact mill. If you are new to milling your own flour, I suggest checking out my post all about getting started on freshly milled flour.
Muffin Pan
Muffin pans, silicone molds, or whatever your preference, this is a must! Make sure you grease it really well.

Notes
What kind of wheat berries should I grind?
Soft white wheat berries would yield a fluffier, more tender muffin. Hard white wheat will also work well. I do not recommend hard red wheat berries. Mill your wheat berries on the fine setting and do not sift.
Storing and Freezing Instructions
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Alternatively, you can freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw to room temperature and rewarm in oven or microwave to enjoy.
