There is no better way to use over ripe bananas and pre-prepping breakfast at the same time, Is there?

Muffins: Taste & Texture

  • Moist, fluffy and oh-so-buttery muffins base
  • Deliciously dunked in melted butter and cinnamon sugar 
  • Overflowing with cinnamon and banana flavors in every bite

Recipe Ingredients and process:

You only need a few simple ingredients to bring these Banana Muffins together. I am sure you have all of them in  your pantry right now!

  • All Purpose Flour
  • Leaveners: Baking powder+Baking soda
  • Ground Cinnamon
  • Sugar, Salt and Vanilla
  • One Egg, ripe banana, and some oil

Wet and dry ingredients for cinnamon sugar coated muffins. Sifted dry ingredients over mashed banana, oil, sugar, vanilla and egg.

  1. Begin by mashing a banana in bowl. Add oil, egg, sugar, vanilla and give them all a good mix.
  2. Sift flour, salt, leaveners and cinnamon over wet ingredients.

  3. Fold it till just combined. Pour in liners and bake!

Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

I melted 2 Tbsps of butter and mixed 2 tbsp sugar with 1 tsp Cinnamon. If you find your muffins to be soaking a lot of butter, you may also coat butter on muffins with a pastry brush.

This will save muffins from soaking up way too much butter. Which isn't so bad though (The more butter, the better ;D)

Can you use frozen bananas for baking?

Yes, of course. If you have ripe bananas on hand that you don't wish to bake/use right now. Freeze them in a ziploc.

How do you defrost bananas for baking?

Allow the bananas to thaw in the fridge overnight. Or for a few hours on the counter top. If you notice bananas are releasing extra moisture, get rid of it using a paper towel.

how to make moist muffins?

  • Follow this simple rule, everything room temperature. This will allow muffins ingredients to mix better, creating soft and moist muffins.
  • Don't over mix the batter. It will bake hard and tough muffins.
  • Do not over bake them. Every oven is different. So keep a close eye on them and rely on tooth pick test.
