Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
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, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Add the unsweetened applesauce, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and stir until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix; it’s okay if a few small lumps remain.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 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 let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
