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

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.
