Ingredients

  • 1 large very ripe banana
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1 tablespoon and 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • ½ cup (60g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • ⅓ cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a muffin pan with four liners (or grease).
  2. In a medium bowl, completely mash banana with a potato masher or fork. Add sugar, egg white, and oil. Stir with a spoon until just combined (mixture will still be lumpy).
  3. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir until just combined. If desired, stir in optional chocolate chips.
  4. Divide mixture between the four prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 of the way full. Bake for 18 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out mostly clean and the tops of the muffins begin to turn golden.
  5. Cool in the pan until cool enough to handle before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  6. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Approximate nutritional information does not include optional chocolate chips.
  • Doubling: If doubling, instead of using 2 egg whites, you can use a single whole egg.
  • Storage: Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing: Individually wrap muffins in cling wrap and then store them in an airtight container or freezer bag in the freezer for up to 2 months. Allow them to come to room temperature before eating.
