Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe bananas
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 2 units large eggs
- 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 low-fat milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Melt the unsalted butter and let it cool slightly. Add the melted butter to the mashed bananas and mix well.
Stir in the light brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and ground cinnamon.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in batches, stirring gently after each addition.
Mix in the low-fat milk until the batter is smooth and combined, being careful not to overmix.
Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 14-16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
