Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Optional: chocolate chips or chopped nuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Melt the unsalted butter in the microwave or on the stove, and add it to the mashed bananas along with the plain Greek yogurt. Stir to combine.
Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract to the banana mixture. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If using optional chocolate chips or chopped nuts, fold them into the batter at this point.
Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
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 allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
