Ingredients
- 1¾ cups white whole-wheat flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- ¾ cup drained canned pineapple chunks, divided
- ¾ cup roughly chopped toasted pecans, divided
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 325ºF. Lightly grease a 12-count muffin tray. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; whisk to mix well. In a large bowl, whisk oil, maple syrup and eggs until well mixed. Whisk in bananas. Add flour mixture and fold together until nearly combined.
2. Roughly chop two-thirds of the pineapple and fold in. Fold in two-thirds of the pecans, stirring until all flour is incorporated (do not over-mix).
3. Divide batter among muffin cups. Top with remaining pineapple chunks and pecans. Bake until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean, 22 to 25 minutes. Let cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool completely. Keep leftovers covered at room temperature.
