Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 large overripe bananas mashed
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: ¼ cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick spray.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- Prepare wet ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Stir in the melted butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Add optional ingredients: If using nuts or chocolate chips, fold them in at this stage.
- Spoon batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ of the way full.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Cool: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
