Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter gently melted and cooled to just slightly warm
  • 1½ cups well-mashed very ripe banana (you will need 3 to 4 large bananas to equal this amount)
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 large egg slightly beaten
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon add more if you like!

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 375° F. Line a standard muffin tin with paper liners; set aside. If you don't want to use paper liners, lightly spray the muffin tin with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together the mashed bananas, sugar, and egg. Then stir in the melted and cooled butter.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon. Add dry ingredients to the banana mixture and fold to incorporate.
  4. Divide batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until nicely golden at the edges and just set in the center. Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes, then transfer individual muffins to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly spray a 4" x 8" loaf pan with non-stick spray.
  • Prepare the banana bread muffins batter as instructed and add to prepared loaf pan.
  • Bake in the center of the oven for 45-50 minutes, or until center of loaf is set and a toothpick comes out just barely clean.
  • Remove pan from oven and set on a cooling rack to cool for 15 minutes. Then run a knife around the perimeter of the pan, release the banana bread, and let cool completely on the cooling rack.
