Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups Flour
- ⅔ cup Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- ½ cup Vegetable oil
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
- 3 Bananas
- 2 Eggs
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 180c (350f) and prep a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
- Into 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 sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, kosher salt, and vegetable oil. Mix with a whisk until the mixture is well combined.
- Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon, and mix until just combined. Don’t overmix the batter!
- Scoop the batter with a large ice cream scooper into the muffin tins, sprinkle brown sugar on top, and bake in a 180c (350f) preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Don't overbake these muffins! Let the muffins cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
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
Mesure you 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.
Use only ripe bananas for this recipe! ripe bananas are more sweet, moist, and easy to mash into a pudding consistency. If you don't have ripe bananas, bake regular bananas in a 200c (400f) preheated oven for 10 minutes, this will soften the bananas and make them into a ripe banana texture.
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.
