BANANA MUFFINS



Banana Muffins image

These banana muffins are moist and delicious and take only a half hour to bake in the oven-making them ideal for breakfast.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Yield Makes 12 Muffins or 36 Minimuffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 (1 1/2 to 2 pounds) ripe bananas, plus 1 for garnish (more if making mini muffins)
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 cup canola oil
1 large egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin pan, regular or mini, with paper liners.
  • Peel 4 bananas, and place them in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat until mashed, about 1 minute. Add brown sugar, oil, and egg; beat until smooth. Reduce speed to low. Add flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; beat until smooth. Add sour cream and vanilla; beat until combined.
  • Fill muffin liners three-quarters full. Slice remaining banana into 1/8-inch-thick rounds; place a slice on each muffin. Bake until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 25 minutes for regular muffins and 20 for mini, rotating pan halfway through. Transfer to wire rack to cool. Store, covered, at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make your muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature: This will help them to rise quickly and evenly.
  • Cool the muffins completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

These old-fashioned banana muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With their moist texture and sweet banana flavor, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try!
