Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1/2 cup Rolled Oats
- 1/2 cup Milk Powder
Mix-Ins and Spices
- 1/2 cup Tutti Frutti
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon ground
- 1/4 tsp Nutmeg ground
- 1 tsp Pepper black, freshly cracked
Topping and Garnish
- 1 tsp Sesame Seeds
- 1/3 tsp Salt or to taste
- Chocolate Syrup for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Preheating ensures the buns bake evenly.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the melted butter and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, milk powder, tutti frutti, cinnamon, nutmeg, black pepper, and salt. This ensures the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough buns.
- Grease a muffin tin or baking dish with butter or cooking spray. This prevents the buns from sticking.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle the tops with sesame seeds.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The toothpick test ensures the buns are cooked through.
- Let the buns cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Cooling prevents the bottoms from becoming soggy.
- Drizzle with chocolate syrup before serving, if desired.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Use a ripe banana so no added sugar is needed.
- For extra softness and richer flavor, let the dough rise for a full 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- For a vegan version, substitute melted coconut oil or plant-based butter for dairy butter, and use a flaxseed “egg” (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal mixed with 3 tablespoons water) in place of an egg wash.
- Add a sprinkle of oats or tutti frutti on top of each bun before baking for added texture.
Expert Tips
- Don't overmix the dough, as this can result in tough buns. Mix until just combined.
- For even baking, ensure your oven is properly preheated before placing the buns inside.
- Brush the baked buns with a little melted butter or a simple syrup for extra shine and flavor.
Storage Instructions
- These buns freeze well. Cool them completely, wrap individually, and store in an airtight bag or container.
- To reheat, warm in a preheated oven for a few minutes to restore their fresh-baked softness.
