Kick off the weekend with an energizing, balanced breakfast
Weekend mornings are perfect for fueling the body with a satisfying, nourishing breakfast in equal parts. Breakfast is widely recognized as one of the day’s most essential meals, yet many people skip it because time is scarce. Saturday presents a wonderful opportunity to slow down a bit and nourish the body properly. A thoughtful morning routine pays dividends throughout the day, leaving you ready for whatever comes next.
Experts advocate including fruits, dairy, and whole grains in the first meal. Today’s recipe brings these elements together to give Saturday mornings a strong start. The aim is a delicious, sugar-free banana muffin that supports a balanced diet while delivering satisfying flavor.

Ingredients for banana muffins
To prepare these tasty treats, gather the following ingredients:
-
150 grams whole grain flour
-
2 or 3 ripe bananas (depending on size)
-
1 egg
-
50 grams vegetable oil
-
1 teaspoon baking soda
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
1 tablespoon baking powder
As written, no sugar is added to the ingredients because ripe bananas and cinnamon provide natural sweetness and aroma.
Sugar-Free Banana Muffin Recipe
Before starting, preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius so it is ready when the batter is prepared. Peel the bananas and slice them. Place them in a blender, then add the egg and oil. Blend until a smooth, creamy mixture forms. Transfer this mix to a large bowl and fold in the whole grain flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and baking powder. Stir until a uniform batter is achieved.
Now the batter is ready. Spoon it into muffin molds, being careful not to fill each cup to the very top since the batter will rise a bit during baking. Bake for about 15 minutes until the tops turn golden. Turn off the oven, remove the muffins, and allow them to cool to room temperature before enjoying.

The most complete and healthy breakfast
Pair these tasty muffins with a glass of skim milk or a coffee with milk to round out the meal. A dairy beverage helps maximize energy early in the day and supports fullness, making it easier to maintain focus through the morning.
