Banana Muffins Recipe
Ingredients
➙230 gm (1 & ¾ cup) all-purpose flour➙150 gm (¾ cup) of granulated white sugar
➙1 tsp of baking powder
➙¼ tsp of baking soda
➙¼ tsp of salt
➙1 tsp of ground cinnamon
➙113 gm (½ cup) of unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
➙2, large eggs
➙1 tsp vanilla extract
➙3 (about 1 & ½ cup) ripe banana, mashed with a fork
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180⁰C/350⁰F and place the wire rack in the middle of the oven. Line a 12 cup muffin pan with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients – flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Give a gentle stir with a wire whisk.
- In another large bowl, mix melted butter, mashed banana, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- With a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, lightly fold the wet ingredients (banana mixture) into the dry ingredients just until combined and the batter is thick. Do not over-mix as that would lead to a tough bread. Just mix it until everything seems to be incorporated and a homogeneous mixture is reached.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin making each ¾ full. You can use an ice cream scoop for this as I do and I smear some oil inside the scoop so that the batter falls off easily.
- Bake the muffins for about 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- If you feel the tops of your muffins are not brown enough, just shift the wire rack with the muffin tin to the lowest rack and turn on the broiler for just 1 minute or until the tops are browned. Do not leave the oven unattended at this point as a few seconds delay can turn your beloved muffins from delish to disaster!
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
