Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Bananas (ripe, mashed)
- 120 milliliters Pure maple syrup
- 75 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 50 milliliters Milk
- 75 grams Optional: Chopped walnuts or chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the tin.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add the maple syrup, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until the mixture is well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins soft and tender.
Stir in the milk to loosen the batter. If you're adding walnuts or chocolate chips, fold them in at this stage.
Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Maple Syrup Banana Muffins with a cup of coffee or tea!
