Description

These moist and flavorful Banana Muffins are perfect for a quick breakfast or a delicious snack. Made with ripe bananas, brown sugar, and a hint of cinnamon, they offer a delightful balance of sweetness and warmth. Easy to prepare and bake, they yield 12 perfectly sized muffins with a tender crumb and subtle vanilla aroma.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1/3 cup (75g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined to ensure proper leavening and flavor distribution.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the mashed bananas, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until you achieve a smooth, homogenous mixture.
  4. Blend Batter: Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender and light.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow space for rising.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 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 pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas with brown spots for optimal sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to prevent dense muffins.
  • You can add chopped nuts or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Check doneness with a toothpick; if it comes out with wet batter, continue baking a few minutes longer.
