Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe bananas the more speckled, the better for sweetness
- 1/3 cup melted butter freshly melted for a rich flavor
- 3/4 cup sugar you can reduce this for a healthier option
- 1 piece egg adds richness; feel free to use a flax egg for a vegan version
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract a comforting note of sweetness
- 1 teaspoon baking soda for that perfect rise
- 1 pinch salt to balance the sweetness
- 1 cup all-purpose flour or swap with whole wheat for a healthier version
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and prepare a muffin tin with paper liners or a light coat of cooking spray.
- Mash the ripe bananas in a large bowl with a fork until smooth.
- Stir in the melted butter to the mashed bananas until well-combined, followed by the sugar, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Gently fold in the flour just until combined.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack.
Notes
Consider using Greek yogurt instead of some butter for added moisture and protein. Add cinnamon, chocolate chips, or nuts for variations.
