Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Fork
  • Whisk or electric mixer
  • Muffin tin (12 cups)
  • Paper muffin liners
  • Cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 3 ripe bananas mashed
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips or walnuts

Instructions
 

  • Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your muffin tin with paper liners.
  • This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
  • Peel your ripe bananas completely. Mash them well with a fork.
  • You want a smooth consistency with few lumps.
  • Add melted butter to the mashed bananas. Stir in sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla.
  • Mix everything together until well combined.
  • Sprinkle baking soda over the banana mixture. Add a pinch of salt too.
  • Stir these ingredients in thoroughly.
  • Add flour to your wet mixture gradually. Gently fold it in with a spatula.
  • Don't overmix or muffins will be tough. Mix just until flour disappears completely.
  • Fold in chocolate chips or walnuts now. This step is totally optional though.
  • The muffins taste great either way.
  • Scoop batter into prepared muffin cups. Fill each cup about two-thirds full.
  • This allows room for them to rise.
  • Place tin in preheated oven carefully. Bake for 18-20 minutes exactly.
  • They're done when golden brown on top. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
  • Remove muffins from oven immediately. Let them cool for 5 minutes.
  • Transfer to a cooling rack afterward.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas for maximum sweetness.
  • The browner the peel, the better taste.
  • Don't overmix your batter at all.
  • This keeps muffins light and fluffy inside.
  • Room temperature ingredients mix together more easily.
  • Take butter and eggs out early.
  • Add a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
  • It complements the banana taste perfectly.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container.
  • They stay fresh for up to 5 days.
