Steps

Preheat your oven to 400 °F and spray a muffin tray with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a small bowl, prepare your flax egg by whisking 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with three tablespoons of water. Set aside to gel while you prepare the rest of the batter.
In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and optional spices if using.
Add in the wet ingredients (including mashed fruit, fruit puree, or shredded ingredients if using) and mix until just combined.
Fold in the dry mix-ins. Evenly divide the batter among the 12 muffin tins and bake for about 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Watch the muffins carefully towards the end of the baking time to make sure they don't overbake. The time will depend on the ingredients you use!
Allow the muffins to cool slightly before removing them from the pan. Store in an air-tight container outside of the fridge for a couple days or in the fridge for up to a week.These muffins taste best when warmed slightly.

This is a great recipe! Substituted passion fruit juice and extract, added walnuts, cinnamon, and ginger. Used egg replacer, but next time will use flax egg for the added nutrients. Thanks!

I just tried the recipe only with chocolate chips and a bit of mashed banana and oh my god, they turned out so nice and fluffy and delicious! Just last week I tried a different recipe from a different blog and they turned out really heavy and dense. Yours are so easy to make, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much for sharing :)
