Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

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

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas: Ripeness brings out a more intense banana flavor and natural sweetness. If your bananas aren't quite ripe, try microwaving them for a few seconds or baking them in the oven for a few minutes to speed up the process.
  • Use different types of flour: This recipe calls for all-purpose flour, but you can substitute whole wheat flour, almond flour, or oat flour for a healthier option.
  • Add mix-ins: Feel free to add your favorite mix-ins to the batter, such as chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in dense muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use muffin liners: Muffin liners make it easy to remove the muffins from the pan and prevent sticking.

Conclusion:

These easy-to-make banana bread muffins are moist, flavorful, and perfect for a quick breakfast, snack, or dessert. They're also a great way to use up ripe bananas. With endless possibilities for customization, these muffins are sure to become a family favorite. So, preheat your oven, gather your ingredients, and let's get baking!
