Description
Delicious and easy-to-make banana bread muffins that are perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas: The star of the show! Ripe bananas add natural sweetness and moisture.
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour: This forms the base of your muffins, giving them structure.
- ¾ cup granulated sugar: Sweetens the muffins and enhances the banana flavor.
- 2 large eggs: Eggs help bind the ingredients together and add richness.
- ½ cup unsalted butter: Melted butter adds moisture and a rich taste.
- 1 teaspoon baking soda: This is the leavening agent that helps the muffins rise.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: Adds a lovely aroma and enhances the overall flavor.
- ¼ teaspoon salt: A pinch of salt balances the sweetness and enhances flavors.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing each cup.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Mash the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl, then add melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture and stir gently until just combined.
- Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full with the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Choose very ripe bananas for the best flavor.
- Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
- Freeze muffins for up to three months for longer storage.
