Moist banana muffins come together with simple ingredients and only take about 30 minutes from start to finish!

Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour (180g)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1½ cups mashed overripe bananas (about 3 bananas)
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted (113g/120ml)
- ½ cup white sugar (100g)
- ¼ cup packed light brown sugar (55g)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the banana, butter, both sugars, eggs, and vanilla until well incorporated but the bananas are still a bit lumpy. Pour the banana mixture into the flour mixture and stir until combined. Divide the batter among each paper liner (they will be almost full).
- Bake for 5 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and continue baking for another 15 minutes or until the centers are springy to the touch and the tops are golden brown. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes, then remove and place on a wire rack. Serve warm or cool completely on the rack.
Notes
- Measure the flour correctly. Using too much flour is a surefire way to end up with dry muffins. The best way to measure flour is using a kitchen scale. If you don’t have one, fluff up the flour in its container, spoon it into your measuring cup, and level off the top with a butter knife.
- Use room temperature ingredients. Set out the eggs about 30 minutes before you start baking, so they warm to room temperature. This will help them incorporate better into the batter.
- Ripen bananas in 10 minutes: If your bananas aren't ripe, place them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until blackened. Let cool completely, then peel and mash.
- Don’t overmix the batter. Stop mixing when everything is just combined. Mixing too much yields dense, tough muffins.
- Mix-in options: You can add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts, as well as chocolate chips (or just try my banana chocolate chip muffins). Add about ½ cup of nuts or 1 cup of chocolate chips to the batter right at the end, when the batter is just about ready.
