Healthy Banana bread (muffins)

I was craving it. Had some ripe bananas. Found this great recipe here, but modified it a bit.


Ingredients
•3 ripe bananas
•1/4 cup of honey
•1 TBPS olive oil
•1 Egg
•1 tsp vanilla extract
•1/2 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup bread flour
1/4 cup bran flour
•1 1/2 tsp baking soda
•1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
•3/4 cup chopped toasted pecans.

*Instructions


1.Heat your oven to 350 F.
2.Grease your pan. (after i started, i realized i can't find my bread pan. muffin pans suffice, just lower the cooking time by about 15-20 minutes).
3.Mash up your ripe bananas and mix with the honey, its okay if it's a little lumpy.
4. Add the vanilla, egg, and oil to the banana mixture.
5.In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, powder, cinnamon, salt, and nuts.
6.Combine the two mixtures together. Don't over-mix!
7.Pour the mixture into your pan.
8.Bake for about 40 minutes. Use a toothpick to check for doneness.
