Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas mashed
- 150 g sugar
- 100 g melted butter
- 2 eggs
- 200 g all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- Optional: 50g chocolate chips or chopped nuts
Instructions
Prepare the Oven and Tray
- Preheat your oven to 180°C. Line a muffin tray with paper liners. This makes it easy to remove muffins after baking.
Mash the Bananas
- Peel the bananas and mash them in a bowl using a fork. Make sure the texture is smooth with small lumps for extra flavor.
Mix Wet Ingredients
- Add melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Combine Dry Ingredients
- In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. This helps distribute the raising agents evenly.
Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture. Fold gently using a spatula. Do not overmix to keep the muffins soft.
Add Optional Ingredients
- If using chocolate chips or nuts, fold them into the batter. This adds texture and extra flavor to the muffins.
Fill the Muffin Cases
- Spoon the batter into muffin liners. Fill each about two-thirds full. This allows space for the muffins to rise.
Bake the Muffins
- Place the tray in the oven. Bake for 18–20 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Let them cool before serving.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas for best sweetness
- Do not overmix the batter
- Add cinnamon for warm flavor
- Use brown sugar for deeper taste
- Try adding raisins or walnuts
- Let muffins cool before removing from tray
