Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, peel and mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth and slightly chunky.
Add the unsweetened applesauce, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir well to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until evenly mixed.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix as this could make the muffins dense.
Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake 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 tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftover muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
