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

These muffins look so fluffy! I must give these a try!
banana always tastes excellent in baked goods and this combination of banana and cinnamon in a muffin is simply outstanding. We literally enjoyed these and finished off the same day 🙂
This recipe looks amazing and definitely worth trying! The muffins are super fluffy and the topping of cinnamon sugar gives a better kick in taste. I will definitely try these again.
