Ingredients
Method
- Peel your bananas and place them in a large mixing bowl. Use a fork or potato masher to mash them until smooth
- Stir in the melted butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture, then gently stir in the flour.
- Toss in chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or even dried fruit if you want to give your muffins a little extra personality.
- Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly. Divide the batter evenly among the cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Pop the pan into a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
Can I make these muffins healthier?
Yes! Swap half the flour for whole wheat flour, use coconut sugar or honey instead of white sugar, and replace half the butter with applesauce. What if I don’t have muffin liners?
No problem — just grease the muffin tin with butter or nonstick spray. Can I double the recipe?
Absolutely. This recipe doubles easily if you want to make a big batch for freezing.
