    Ingredients

    • 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
    • 1/2 cup wheat flour
    • 2 teaspoons baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • 2/3 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
    • 1 large egg, or 2 egg whites
    • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
    • 1 1/2 cup bananas, mashed
    • 6 tablespoons light vegetable oil
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla

    Instructions

    1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a standard 12 muffin pan or line with paper cups.
       
    2. Whisk together the flour, wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir in the chopped pecans.
       
    3. Whisk together in a separate bowl, the egg, brown sugar, bananas, vegetable oil, and vanilla.
       
    4. Add the flour mixture to the banana mixture and mix with a few light strokes just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Do not overmix; the batter should not be smooth.
       
    5. Divide the batter among the muffin cups. Bake until a toothpick inserted in 1 or 2 of the muffins comes out clean, about 18 minutes.
       
    6. Let cool for 2 to 3 minutes before removing from the pan. If not serving hot, let cool on a rack.
