Description

Delight in these Baked Banana Cinnamon Dream Muffins, a perfect blend of ripe bananas and warm spices. Soft, moist, and flavorful, these muffins are ideal for a quick breakfast or a comforting snack, made with simple ingredients and baked to golden perfection.


Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.25 cup packed brown sugar
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup milk


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the mashed ripe bananas with granulated sugar, packed brown sugar, melted and cooled unsalted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  4. Incorporate Dry into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients. Gently stir the batter just until combined, taking care not to overmix to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
  6. Bake the Muffins: Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, indicating they are fully cooked.
  7. Cool Muffins: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes to set, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.

Notes

  • For extra texture and flavor, consider adding chopped walnuts or chocolate chips into the batter before baking.
  • These muffins freeze well; store them in an airtight container and reheat gently for a convenient breakfast or snack.
