60 minNo butter. No oil. No added sugar. And somehow these muffins are still moist, satisfying, and genuinely good.
Overripe bananas and applesauce do all the heavy lifting in the moisture department, while whole wheat flour and soy flour team up with crunchy millet seeds for a hearty, nutty texture that holds up for days.
Golden raisins blended right into the batter add bursts of natural sweetness throughout. With 37 reviews from home bakers who keep coming back to this one, these muffins have proven they don’t need the extras.
Kitchen Tips
- Use truly overripe bananas, the kind with black spots or fully brown skins. They’re sweeter and blend smoother
- The millet stays crunchy even after baking, adding a pleasant pop to each bite
- These bake longer than typical muffins (40 to 50 minutes) because the whole grain flours and applesauce hold more moisture
- Wrap cooled muffins tightly and refrigerate. They hold well for up to 5 days

there is no mention of whether the millet is to be cooked or soaked at least before adding to the batter. I don't think the millet is going to cook this way!
I have made this recipe for several years, because of the healthy benefits, I always just wash the millet in a fine sieve, then dry them in a kitchen paper towel, and these muffins always turn out delicious!
