You know those mornings when you spot a quantity of bananas turning brown on the counter and you wonder if they’re still good to eat That was me yesterday so I decided to bake something with them and banana muffins felt like the right move.

I didn’t have a fancy recipe so I just mashed the bananas then tossed in a few pantry basics like flour and sugar and eggs and before I knew it the batter was ready while the oven was preheating
What came out twenty minutes later was golden and fluffy and warm and the house smelled like comfort and memories and everything good all at once.

There’s something about banana muffins that just hits different especially when they’re fresh and a little steamy and you slather on some butter then watch it melt right in.

Ingredients :

• 3 ripe bananas mashed

How to Make Banana Muffins

Step 1

The first thing you need to do is preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a muffin tin with baking paper or grease it with a little butter or butter spray.

Step 2

Get a large mixing bowl and mash the bananas with a fork until smooth. Then add the melted butter and stir until fully combined. Add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract and mix well.

Step 3

Now, sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and stir well. Add the flour and stir until well combined. Don’t overmix.

If you’re using any optional toppings, such as chocolate chips or nuts, add them to the mixture now. You can use a spoon or scoop to fill each muffin tin about three-quarters full.

Step 4

Now, bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Finally, let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Kitchen Equipment Needed :

Tips for the Best Banana Muffins :

Use ripe bananas: The riper the banana, the sweeter and more flavorful the muffins will be. Look for bananas with brown spots.

Don’t overmix: Mixing the batter too much makes the muffins tough instead of soft and fluffy.

Use room-temperature eggs: This helps the batter mix more evenly and improves texture.

What to Eat with Banana Muffins ??

I love having these muffins with a cup of hot tea, and when the weather is hot I like them with a cold drink or fruit juice. For my little son, I serve them with cold milk or hot chocolate. When I go to my sister’s house, she always asks me to bring them for her, and she loves adding honey or yogurt to them.
