Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper muffin liners or spraying it with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Combine the mashed bananas and melted butter in a mixing bowl, stirring until well mixed.
  3. Add the baking soda and a pinch of salt to the banana mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
  4. Incorporate the vanilla extract and the beaten egg until blended perfectly.
  5. Add the sugar gradually to the batter, mixing continuously until well combined.
  6. Fold in the flour carefully, mixing just until slightly lumpy to keep the muffins moist.
  7. Add the nuts and spices if desired, gently incorporating them into the batter.
  8. Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full with batter.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  10. Cool the muffins in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a vegan option, use a flax egg and coconut oil instead of butter.
