Banana Bread Muffins
Moist and delicious banana bread baked in muffin form for easy, individual portions. It is awesome.
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line muffin tin with paper liners or grease with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
- In a medium bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth. Stir in oil, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Don’t overmix, a few lumps are okay.
- Fold in walnuts or chocolate chips, if using.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use overripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness. The darker the banana peels, the sweeter the muffins will be.
- Don’t overmix the batter, as it can make the muffins tough.
- Feel free to add other mix-ins, such as raisins, cranberries, or shredded coconut.
