Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Bananas (ripe)
- 150 g Granulated sugar
- 50 g Brown sugar
- 80 g Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 240 g All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 60 ml Milk
- 100 g Chocolate chips or nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas, and whisk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the muffins remain tender.
Stir in the milk to loosen the batter. If using chocolate chips or nuts, fold them in gently at this stage.
Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 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 muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
