These simple banana muffins come collectively rapidly, 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 Components Collectively

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

Flour — I want to make use of all-purpose flour, however complete wheat works effectively on this recipe. You too can substitute your favourite gluten-free flour mix.

Brown sugar — sugar provides moisture, sweetness and makes the muffins tender. In the event you solely have white sugar, don’t fear; you need to use it as a substitute.

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 fantastic. For this banana muffin recipe, we want 1 ¼ cups of mashed banana. Which means you’ll want two massive or three medium bananas to make the recipe. I mash them within the backside of a mixing bowl.

Similar to when making banana bread, the bananas you utilize for these simple muffins matter. We wish the bananas to be candy and additional ripe.

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

Step 3: Mix the Moist Components

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

Melted butter — butter provides a luscious, buttery taste to the muffins. For banana bread with out butter, you may substitute oil. Muffins with oil received’t style as wealthy, however the texture can be mild 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 with out a splash of vanilla extract. It provides richness and sweetness that sugar doesn’t present.

Step 4: Mix The whole lot Collectively and Add Chocolate Chips

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

I exploit mini chocolate chips to make banana bread, too. On this recipe for chocolate chip banana bread, I really 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 middle of a muffin, it comes out clear. For mini muffins, the bake time can be much less. I’d anticipate 10 to fifteen minutes.
