Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 large egg
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) butter, melted
- ¾ cup (150 g) white sugar
- 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Oven Preparation: Calibrate the oven to 350°F (175°C) and outfit a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray or paper liners for optimal baking performance.
- Dry Ingredient Composition: Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a medium bowl, meticulously eliminating any potential lumps to ensure a smooth mixture.
- Wet Ingredient Transformation: Pulverize ripe bananas into a silky foundation, then integrate granulated sugar, beaten egg, and melted butter, whisking until the mixture achieves a harmonious blend with consistent texture.
- Batter Fusion: Delicately fold dry and wet ingredients together using minimal strokes, preserving the batter’s light consistency and preventing potential toughness, mixing only until ingredients are barely incorporated.
- Muffin Portioning and Baking: Allocate batter into muffin cups, filling each approximately two-thirds full, then position the tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until tops develop a golden-bronze hue and a toothpick emerges immaculately clean when inserted.
- Cooling Protocol: Allow muffins to rest briefly in the tin for 5 minutes, then transition them onto a wire cooling rack, permitting complete temperature stabilization and optimal texture development.
Notes
- Select Perfectly Ripe Bananas: Choose bananas with deep brown or black speckles for maximum sweetness and intense banana flavor.
- Prevent Dense Texture: Fold ingredients gently and minimally to maintain a light, tender muffin crumb without overmixing.
- Customize Moisture Level: Add 1-2 tablespoons of sour cream or Greek yogurt to enhance the muffins’ tenderness and prevent dryness.
- Enhance Flavor Variation: Experiment with mix-ins like chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or cinnamon to personalize the basic recipe.
