Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Ripe bananas
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cups Milk
- 0.5 cups Jelly or jam of your choice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a standard 12-cup muffin tin by lining it with cupcake liners or greasing it lightly.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly using a fork or potato masher until smooth.
Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and milk to the mashed bananas. Whisk until the mixture is well combined.
In a separate large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold the ingredients together until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
Fill each muffin cup about a third full with the batter. Drop about 1 teaspoon of jelly or jam in the center of each muffin cup, then cover with additional batter until the cup is about two-thirds full. Ensure the jelly is fully enclosed by the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops of the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the edge (not through the jelly) comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
