Ingredients
 
 

  • 85 g Butter melted and cooled
  • 1 ½ cups Bananas mashed
  • ¾ cup Granulated sugar
  • teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 Egg
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 ½ cups Flour AP
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda

Instructions
 

  • Preheat an oven to 180c (350f) and brush a mini muffin pan with softened butter.
  • In a big mixing bowl, add the ripe bananas and mash them into a pudding-like consistency with a fork or a potato masher.
  • Add the cooled melted butter, greek yogurt, egg, cinnamon, kosher salt, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar, and mix well until a smooth mixture forms.
  • Add the flour and baking soda and mix until just combined. Don't overmix!
  • Pour the batter into the muffin tins filling almost to the top. Top with chopped nuts or coarse sugar.
  • Bake in a 180c (350f) preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Don’t overbake these muffins!
  • Let these muffins cool for at least 15-30 minutes so they will be easy to remove from the pan.
  • My best tip for removing the mini muffins from the pan without them falling apart is twisting each muffin and then lifting it gently from the pan.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients. It is important that you use room-temperature ingredients like eggs and milk. This step ensures that your mixture mixes into a homogenous mixture and bakes perfectly. you don’t want to place cold batter into the oven.
  • Don’t overmix the batter, you don’t want to develop the gluten in the flour. This step ensures you have moist muffins and not dense and dry muffins.
  • Measure your flour correctly! When measuring your flour, avoid scooping it with a measuring cup. Instead, stir the flour with a spoon to create as many air pockets as possible, and spoon it into your measuring cup. Finally, level it with a back of a knife.
  • Add some of your favorite add-ins! Make this recipe your own and add your favorite muffins add-ins: chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, chopped pecans, chocolate chunks, banana slices, chopped fruit, and more! Be creative!
  • Be patient! I know it's extremely tempting to eat these muffins as they are pulled out of the oven, but let these muffins cool for at least 15 minutes so they will be more firm and won't crumble up.
  • These muffins are extra moist and melt-in-your-mouth delicious, so it will be worth it to wait these 15 minutes.
