Ingredients
  

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ⅓ cup butter, melted

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line cups with paper liners.
  2. In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate large bowl, mix together the mashed bananas, sugar, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
  4. Fold the flour mixture into the banana mixture until smooth.
  5. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until the tops of the muffins spring back when lightly pressed.
  7. Allow the muffins to cool briefly in the tin, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Pro Tip: For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter. It enhances the natural sweetness of the bananas and adds a delightful aroma to your muffins.
Variation: Want to make these muffins even more indulgent? Fold in ½ cup of chocolate chips or chopped walnuts into the batter before baking. It adds a delicious crunch and a hint of richness to every bite. Experiment with different mix-ins to customize your banana muffins to your liking!
