Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium ripe banana
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 large egg yolk
- 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 0.125 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with one paper liner or grease one compartment well.
In a small bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth and creamy.
Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, egg yolk, and vanilla extract to the banana and mix until well combined.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts.
Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling it about 3/4 of the way full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffin from the oven and let it cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your single-serving banana bread muffin fresh or store it in an airtight container for up to two days.
