Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3 ripe bananas mashed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

Method
 

  1. reheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your muffins will bake evenly and rise perfectly.
  2. Mash the Bananas: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth. This will add natural moisture and flavor!
  3. Mix in Sugar and Butter: Stir in the melted butter and sugar into the mashed bananas until well combined.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Mix in the beaten egg and vanilla extract until blended.
  5. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, and flour. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this helps keep the muffins fluffy!
  6. Pour and Bake: Grease a muffin pan or line it with muffin liners, then pour the batter evenly into the cups. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy them warm!
