For day 2 of blogging marathon under the theme car snacks, I have these healthy, whole wheat flour banana muffins. In the past I have used whole wheat flour but always felt that the texture of the finished goodies is dense and grainy.

So I like to substitute part whole wheat along with all purpose flour to make it part healthy. After trying out the whole wheat pastry flour in the past few days, I am absolutely in love with it. The texture is perfect and no more grainy, whole wheat feeling in the mouth.

These Whole Wheat Banana and Pineapple Muffins are naturally flavored with the banana flavor and are egg less. The texture is perfect and moist with the right amount of crumble.

There is no butter in the recipe and it uses only about 3 tablespoon of vegetable oil. The buttermilk in the recipe works wonder and is the big reason behind the moist muffins.

I also make the muffins bite size in the mini muffin pans to make snacking easier when on the go. I have added pineapple chunks in my muffins because I had some in my pantry, but you could add any fruit chunks, berries or nuts to the muffin. My muffins were moderately sweet. If you like sweeter muffins, increase the brown sugar to one cup.
