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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
- 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.
- 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.
