Ingredients
3 ripe bananas, mashed
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
⅓ cup melted butter or oil
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
Optional: ½ tsp cinnamon, ½ cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, mash bananas. Whisk in sugars, melted butter, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined—don’t overmix.
Fold in optional mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips, if desired.
Divide batter evenly into prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
Bake for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
Use overripe bananas for maximum flavor and sweetness.
For bakery-style domes, let the batter rest 10–15 minutes before baking.
Muffins can be frozen for up to 2 months.
Add a sprinkle of raw sugar on top before baking for a sweet crunch.
