How to make whole wheat banana muffins
These whole wheat banana muffins are a one-bowl recipe to whip within a few minutes. Take a bowl mash over-ripened banana with a potato masher or a fork. To it, add cane sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and oil and mix well with a wire whisk. Mix until the cane sugar is partially dissolved, sieve whole wheat flour, baking powder, and baking soda, and mix gently with a spatula. The muffin batter is ready to bake.

Let’s see step- step preparation of whole wheat banana muffins.
In a wide, bowl add over-ripened bananas and mash well either with a potato masher or fork. Use any which is available in your kitchen.
To the mashed bananas add cane sugar, oil, salt and vanilla extract.
Mix well with a wire whisk. Do not worry if there are any lumps of cane sugar.
Sieve whole wheat flour, baking powder, and baking soda together to the banana cane sugar mixture.
Mix gently with a spatula until the flour is combined well. If the muffin batter is too thick add in milk to loosen the batter. I didn’t add as the batter is perfect.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180 C. Fill in the muffin batter as shown in the picture and top with banana slice and sprinkle sugar on it. I didn’t use a muffin tray as my muffin cup is firm to hold the batter. Bake it for 15 to 18 minutes or, inserted skewer comes out clean.
Let it completely cool on a cooling rack before you start it to dig in.
Serve whole wheat banana muffins for breakfast with a cup of milk or kids snack box or for any gatherings.

Is 1 tbsp baking soda a mistake or did you really put that quantity in the batter? 1 tablespoon is too much for a rising agent. It is severely caustic in the amounts you specified here.
