Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 Ripe bananas
- 100 g Granulated sugar
- 50 g Brown sugar
- 75 g Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 Eggs
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 200 g All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 0.5 tsp Baking soda
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 60 ml Milk
- 100 g Granola
- 2 tbsp Honey
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the batter evenly into the muffin liners, filling each about 3/4 full.
In a small bowl, combine the granola and honey. Stir until the granola is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the granola mixture on top of each muffin, pressing down lightly to help it stick.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
