Ingredients for Moist Banana Muffins

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 large egg, beaten
• ⅓ cup melted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

How to Make Banana Muffins Step by Step

1. Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
3. In a large bowl, mash the bananas with sugar until smooth, then stir in the egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined—batter should be slightly lumpy.
5. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
6. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack.

Baking Tips for Perfect Banana Muffins

• Ripe Bananas: Choose bananas with brown spots for maximum sweetness and moisture.
• Don’t Overmix: A few lumps in the batter keep your muffins soft and tender.
• Flavor Boosters: Fold in chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit.
• Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer.

These banana muffins are a family-friendly, grab-and-go breakfast and snack option that everyone will love—banana muffins truly hit the spot!
