  • 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a muffin pan with paper liners or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl: 1 ½ cups all purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp cinnamon, ¼ tsp nutmeg and ½ tsp salt.
  3. Melt the ½ cup butter in the microwave (should be melted but not boiling). Add to a medium bowl with ½ cup granulated sugar and ¼ cup brown sugar. Mix together with an electric mixer.
  4. Add in 2 large eggs and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Mix with a hand mixer.
  5. Mash 3 ripe bananas well with a fork.
  6. Add the mashed banana to the wet ingredients and mix.
  7. Add the dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Divide the batter into a muffin pan. Fill each cup ⅔ full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when poked with a fork.
  9. Place muffins on a rack to cool completely.

Notes

Place in a container with a lid or a ziplock bag. Place a thick paper towel under and over the muffins to keep them from getting soggy. Store at room temperature or in the fridge for 4-5 days. FREEZE - Wrap each muffin in saran wrap and then store in a large freezer bag to help prevent freezer burn. These will keep up to 6 months. Frozen muffins can be popped into the microwave for 15 seconds wrapped in a paper towel, and enjoy.
