Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large overripe bananas
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 unit large egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup milk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add the granulated sugar, melted unsalted butter, beaten egg, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full with the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to three days.
