Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp ground nutmeg
Wet Ingredients
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter melted
  • 0.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 0.25 cups brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 ripe bananas mashed with a fork

Equipment

  • Muffin Pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a muffin pan with paper liners or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl: 1 ½ cups all purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp cinnamon, ¼ tsp nutmeg and ½ tsp salt.
  3. Melt the ½ cup butter in the microwave (should be melted but not boiling). Add to a medium bowl with ½ cup granulated sugar and ¼ cup brown sugar. Mix together with an electric mixer.
  4. Add in 2 large eggs and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Mix with a hand mixer.
  5. Mash 3 ripe bananas well with a fork.
  6. Add the mashed banana to the wet ingredients and mix.
  7. Add the dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix. Note: Fold in chopped nuts or chocolate chips at this time if using.
  8. Divide the batter into a muffin pan. Fill each cup ⅔ full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when poked with a fork.
  9. Place muffins on a rack to cool completely.

Notes

Place in a container with a lid or a ziplock bag. Place a thick paper towel under and over the muffins to keep them from getting soggy. Store at room temperature or in the fridge for 4-5 days. FREEZE - Wrap each muffin in saran wrap and then store in a large freezer bag to help prevent freezer burn. These will keep up to 6 months. Frozen muffins can be popped into the microwave for 15 seconds wrapped in a paper towel, and enjoy.
