A quick and easy recipe for moist and flavorful banana muffins, perfect for breakfast or a snack.
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large ripe bananas, mashed
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, beaten
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, combine the mashed bananas, granulated sugar, beaten egg, and melted butter. Mix well.
Add the banana mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
