Equipment
- 1 mini muffin pan can use more than one to bake all at once
- 1 Bowl
- 1 potato hand masher
Ingredients
- 2-3 Ripe Bananas overripe is best
- 1/3 cup Butter melted
- 3/4 cup Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract pure is preferred
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 1/4 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp Salt
- 1 1/2 cups Flour
- 1 cup chopped walnuts amounts as desired, no more than 1 cup THIS IS OPTIONAL!!
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare mini muffin pans (or loaf pan if making bread instead of muffins) with nonstick cooking spray.
- Peel and place the bananas in a medium/large mixing bowl. Use the potato hand masher to mash the bananas well.
- Add in the melted butter, sugar, egg and vanilla to the bowl with the banana. Stir well to combine these ingredients.
- Add in the baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt to the bowl. Stir well to combine.
- Add in the flour and stir until just combined. Do not over stir the mixture.
- Use a spoon to transfer the batter into the mini muffin pans, filling about 3/4 of the way full. If you are making a loaf with this recipe, pour all the batter into a 8.5 x 4.5 loaf pan.
- Bake the mini muffins on the middle rack for about 15 - 18 minutes.
- Bake the loaf pan on the middle rack for about 50-60 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool before trying to remove. If the muffins are hard to remove, let them cool longer, and give them a little twist to pop them out.
