Time 45m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups smashed bananas (about 4 to 6 bananas)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup milk
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/8 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cups chopped walnuts

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly brush a 12-muffin tin with butter and set aside.
  • Whisk the flour, baking soda, brown sugar, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Whisk the banana, oil, milk, eggs, salt, and vanilla in a large measuring cup with a spout or another bowl.
  • Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour wet ingredients into the center; then stir with a wooden spoon until the dry ingredients are moistened but still lumpy. Do not overmix the batter or your muffins will come out dense. Gently stir in the nuts. Divide the batter evenly into the muffin tin.
  • Put the muffins in the oven and immediately reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through the cooking. (Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin to check if it is done. Toothpick should come out clean). Cool muffins in the pan on a rack for a couple minutes. Turn the muffins out of the pan and cool on the rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
  • Mash the bananas well: This will help to incorporate them into the batter and prevent them from clumping.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full: This will allow the muffins to rise properly without overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins at a moderate temperature: This will help to prevent them from drying out.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before frosting or serving: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Banana muffins are a classic breakfast treat that are easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make delicious banana muffins that are moist, flavorful, and perfectly golden brown. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try!
