Banana Muffins Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 very ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 ¼ cups)
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• ⅔ cup granulated sugar (or brown sugar for extra moisture)
• 2 large eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¾ cup chocolate chips (optional, or substitute with nuts or dried fruit)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

1. Mix Wet Ingredients:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar. Mix well until combined.
• Add the beaten eggs, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract. Stir until well blended.

1. Combine Dry Ingredients:

• In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

1. Combine Mixtures:

• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
• Fold in the chocolate chips if using.

1. Fill Muffin Tin:

• Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. If desired, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of each muffin.

1. Bake:

• Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

1. Cool and Serve:

• Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips

• For best results, use very ripe bananas with lots of brown spots.
• You can customize these muffins by adding nuts, dried fruit, or even spices like cinnamon or nutmeg.
