Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 1/4 cups)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (or 1/2 cup vegetable oil)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream (for extra moisture)

Optional Mix-Ins:

 

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
    In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.

  3. Prepare Wet Ingredients:
    In a large bowl, mash bananas until smooth. Stir in granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt until well combined.

  4. Combine Ingredients:
    Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix to avoid dense muffins.

  5. Add Mix-Ins (Optional):
    If using chocolate chips or nuts, fold them into the batter.

  6. Fill Muffin Tin:
    Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

  7. Bake:
    Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

  8. Cool and Serve:
    Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For a fun twist, sprinkle the tops with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon before baking.
  • You can store these muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to 3 months.
  • Make mini muffins by reducing the baking time to 10-12 minutes.
