My Favorite Banana Muffins Recipe
These Banana Muffins are about the perfect way to get my day started off on the right foot. They’re moist and tender, and sweetly scented with cinnamon. They know deep-down how to get me going.
I like to bake extra muffins to store in the freezer, just the lovliest pick-me-up on a morning when I’m needing something quick and easy and delicious.
This is my favorite banana muffins recipe. We usually make them plain. But sometimes we stir some mini chocolate chips into the batter – or we sprinkle the top of the unbaked batter in the muffin cups with some of the chocolate chips. So good!!
Banana Muffins
These Banana Muffins are moist and tender, and sweetly scented with cinnamon - the perfect way to get your day started off on the right foot!
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter
- 1½ cups well-mashed banana (from 3 to 4 large, very ripe bananas)
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 large egg, slightly beaten
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon Morton kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon (add more if you like!)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375° F. Line a standard muffin tin with paper liners; set aside. If you don't want to use paper liners, lightly spray the muffin tin with non-stick spray. Then gently melt the butter and set it aside to cool while measuring the rest of the ingredients.
- In a large bowl, stir together the mashed bananas, sugar, and egg. Then stir in the melted and cooled butter (it's ok if it's still a little warm).
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon. Add dry ingredients to the banana mixture and fold to incorporate.
- Divide batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until nicely golden at the edges and just set in the center. Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes, then transfer individual muffins to a cooling rack to cool completely.
