Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe bananas
- 0.3333333333 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 piece egg, large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add the melted butter to the mashed bananas and mix until well combined.
Stir in the sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters 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 tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
