How one can Make the Greatest Banana Muffins

These straightforward banana muffins come collectively shortly, and also you don’t want any fancy tools to make them. So whether or not you bake on a regular basis or that is your very first time, I promise you’ll be a banana muffin baking famous person very quickly!

Step One: Whisk the Dry Substances Collectively

So the dry elements are properly mixed, I prefer to whisk them collectively in a bowl earlier than combining them with the opposite muffin elements. For the dry elements, you will have:

Flour — I choose to make use of all-purpose flour, however entire wheat works properly on this recipe. You can even substitute your favourite gluten-free flour mix.

Brown sugar — sugar provides moisture, sweetness and makes the muffins tender. When you solely have white sugar, don’t fear; you need to use it as an alternative.

Baking powder and baking soda — these are each leaveners and are what make the muffins rise.

Salt — only a tiny little bit of salt makes these muffins ultra-flavorful.

Step 2: Mash the Bananas

You don’t want a mixer to mash bananas — a fork works completely high-quality. For this banana muffin recipe, we’d like 1 ¼ cups of mashed banana. Meaning you’ll want two giant or three medium bananas to make the recipe. I mash them within the backside of a mixing bowl.

Identical to when making banana bread, the bananas you utilize for these straightforward muffins matter. We would like the bananas to be candy and further ripe.

If the bananas have numerous brown speckles on them or are black, you might be properly in your technique to making one of the best banana muffins of your life.

Step 3: Mix the Moist Substances

Since I mashed the banana within the backside of a bigger bowl, I add the remaining muffin elements on to them. For the remaining elements, you will have:

Melted butter — butter provides a luscious, buttery taste to the muffins. For banana bread with out butter, you may substitute oil. Muffins with oil gained’t style as wealthy, however the texture shall be gentle and fluffy.

Egg — an egg provides construction and tenderness to the muffins. For eggless banana muffins, swap the egg for a flax egg or aquafaba.

Vanilla extract — I barely bake something candy and not using a splash of vanilla extract. It provides richness and sweetness that sugar doesn’t present.

Step 4: Mix All the things Collectively and Add Chocolate Chips

The final step for these muffins is to mix the dry elements with the moist elements and in case you are including them, stir in chocolate chips. I don’t know when you can inform from the pictures, however I add mini chocolate chips to my banana muffins. The mini chips be sure to get a chocolaty chunk each time.

I take advantage of mini chocolate chips to make banana bread, too. On this recipe for chocolate chip banana bread, I like combining mini and common chocolate chips.

How Lengthy Do They Bake within the Oven?

The muffins take 20 to 25 minutes to bake. Take them out of the oven when the tops are golden, and after inserting a toothpick within the heart of a muffin, it comes out clear. For mini muffins, the bake time shall be much less. I’d count on 10 to fifteen minutes.
