Ingredients
- RIPE BANANAS. You will need 2-3 ripe bananas, mashed well.
- FLOUR. All-purpose flour works best for this recipe.
- SUGAR. You will need granulated sugar for sweetness.
- BAKING POWDER. This will help the muffins rise.
- SALT. A pinch of salt enhances the flavor.
- EGG. Just one large egg to bind everything together.
- MILK. You can use any type of milk, including plant-based options.
- OIL. Vegetable oil or melted coconut oil can be used.
- VANILLA EXTRACT. A teaspoon for flavor.
Instructions
Prepare your baking tools like measuring cups, spoons, mixing bowls, and muffin trays. Having everything on hand will make the process smooth and enjoyable.
The riper the bananas, the sweeter your Banana Muffins will be. Aim for bananas with plenty of brown spots, as they will lend incredible flavor to your muffins.
Take your time to mash the bananas well. The smoother the banana mixture, the better the overall texture of your muffins will be.
When incorporating sugar into your banana mixture, gradually add it. This helps it dissolve evenly, achieving that perfect sweetness all throughout.
After baking, resist the temptation to dive right in! Allowing the muffins to rest ensures they hold together perfectly. This moment of patience pays off with each delightful bite.
Notes
Tip 1: Storage
Once cooled, store your Banana Muffins in an airtight container at room temperature. They can also be frozen for later enjoyment—just thaw and warm up before serving!
Tip 2: Customization
Feel free to add mix-ins like chocolate chips, walnuts, or dried fruit. These additions will elevate your Banana Muffins to new levels of deliciousness.
Tip 3: Baking Time
Keep an eye on your muffins as they bake. Air fryers can vary slightly in temperature, so checking for doneness a few minutes early is recommended.
