Banana Orange Pistachio Muffins

A lazy Sunday Brunch! Homemade muffins, coffee, and lounging under the warmth of the covers.

These muffins were very easy to make and super healthy as well.


Here's what you'll need:

1 1/2 bananas, mashed
1 large orange, grated zest
1/4 orange orange (I used the fresh juice from the large orange, but regular juice should work)
1 egg
1 1/2 tbsp apple sauce
1/4 cup maple syrup (or agave syrup)
1 cup oats
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

1/4 pistachios, chopped or crushed
1 1/2 tbsp brown sugar


Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line or grease 6 muffin tins.

In a medium bowl, combine the mashed bananas, orange zest, orange juice, egg, apple sauce, and maple syrup, mixing well. Add in the oats, flour, baking powder, and salt, and stir until everything is combined.

Spoon the muffin batter into the lined or greased muffin tins. Place the pistachios in a small ziploc bag and crush with the bottom of a glass. Mix in the brown sugar with the crush pistachios. Sprinkle the topping on the muffins, pressing gentle with your finger tips.

Bake for 20 minutes. Enjoy!
