Description

Delicious and comforting banana bread muffins made with ripe bananas and simple ingredients, perfect for breakfast or a snack.


Ingredients

  • 2 very ripe bananas (mashed well with a fork)
  • 1/3 cup melted butter (slightly cooled)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg (beaten)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
  • Optional mix-ins: chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Stir the mashed ripe bananas with slightly cooled melted butter in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract to the banana-butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
  4. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and fold in the flour until no streaks remain.
  5. Gently fold in any optional mix-ins you desire.
  6. Scoop the completed batter into the lined muffin cups, filling them about three-quarters full.
  7. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the tops turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool the muffins in the pan for about five minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Experiment with mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts, and store in an airtight container for freshness.
