These Banana and Yogurt Breakfast Muffins use whole-wheat flour so it's more filling and has more fiber.
If you are are sensitive or allergic to gluten or if you have Celiac Disease, it's better to skip this recipe.
Or, you can make this into a gluten-free recipe by using a gluten-free flour mix instead, such as Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour.
The ingredients are fairly easy to get. You just might have them lying around your kitchen!
If you can't find Greek yogurt, unsweetened plain yogurt will do. The protein content will be lower by half and the sodium and carb content will be double. Saturated fat will be three times lower. So, it depends on which macronutrient you are looking out for.
Though this recipe calls for honey and coconut, the cinnamon helps offset a bit the insulin spike that happens with all baked goods because cinnamon helps to regulate blood sugar. Also, coconut sugar has some nutrients like zinc, calcium, potassium as well as polyphenols and antioxidants though not in large amounts.
If you are more careful with your sugar intake, try reducing the amount of sugar required in the recipe.
