Ingredients
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup sugar granulated
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 ripe bananas roughly mashed with a fork
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup applesauce
- ⅓ cup milk I used lactose free
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare oven and muffin pan: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray a 6 or 12 muffin baking pan with cooking spray, or line it with muffin liners.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl whisk the mashed bananas with the eggs, applesauce, milk and vanilla extract.
- Make batter: Add the banana mixture to the flour mixture and using a spatula mix everything until the flour is moistened, don't over mix, and keep in mind the batter will be a bit lumpy.
- Spoon into muffin tin: Spoon the muffin batter (I used an ice cream scoop) into the prepared muffin pan. The batter should be enough for 12 small muffins or 6 jumbo muffins.
- Bake: Turn down the oven to 400°F and place the muffins in the oven. Bake them for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
Notes
- ⅓
- just use a plant-based milk.
- ½
- I used 4 medium bananas for this recipe, about 1⅓ cup of mashed banana.
- For a dairy free version, just use a plant-based milk.
- You can substitute the apple sauce with ½ cup cold butter. Add the butter to the flour mixture and using a pastry blender cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the wet mixture to this and stir.
- Nutritional information is for based on 6 jumbo muffins, if making 12 muffins, divide everything by 2 to get nutritional information for a smaller muffin.
