Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing it with non-stick spray.
- Mix dry ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to ensure they are well combined.
- Combine wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, mix the mashed bananas, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Mix wet and dry ingredients. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
- Fill the muffin cups. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow space for rising.
- Bake the muffins. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating they are done.
- Cool the muffins. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, enhancing texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins light and fluffy.
- You can add chopped nuts or chocolate chips if desired.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
