Description

Delicious, fluffy banana muffins that are easy to make and perfect for breakfast or snacks.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas (the browner, the better)
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3/4 cup sugar (or less, depending on preference)
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
  2. Mash the bananas with a fork until smooth. No lumps, please!
  3. Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas.
  4. Mix in the baking soda and salt.
  5. Add the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract; mix well.
  6. Finally, stir in the flour until just combined. Don’t overmix—lumps are fine!
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let them cool slightly before diving in!

Notes

These muffins are best served warm with a touch of butter or honey. They can be stored at room temperature for 2-3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
