Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • ¼ cup butter or margarine, melted
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to fully preheat to ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, melted butter, and milk, mixing thoroughly to blend the flavors.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Lightly beat the egg in a separate small bowl. Then whisk the egg, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and white sugar into the banana mixture until well incorporated.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined, taking care not to overmix to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Prepare Muffin Pan and Fill: Lightly spray a muffin pan with cooking spray and fill each muffin cup about 4/5 full (nearly full) with the batter for perfectly sized muffins.
  6. Bake: Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas with brown spots for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins; mix until ingredients are just combined.
  • Check muffins at 18 minutes as oven temperatures can vary.
  • Allow muffins to cool slightly before removing from pan to prevent breaking.
  • You can substitute milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free option.
