Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.33 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
Add the unsweetened applesauce, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring just until the batter comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Evenly spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 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 muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Smart Ones-inspired banana muffins as a grab-and-go breakfast or snack!
