Instructions

1

Preheat oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Pro tip: Proper preheating ensures even baking.

2

Mix dry ingredients

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Pro tip: Whisking aerates the flour for lighter muffins.

3

Prepare wet ingredients

In another bowl, mash the bananas and mix in the sugar, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Pro tip: Use overripe bananas for the sweetest flavour.

4

Combine mixtures

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.

Pro tip: Overmixing can result in tough muffins.

5

Fill muffin tin

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

Pro tip: Use an ice cream scoop for even portions.

6

Bake muffins

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of a muffin comes out clean.

Pro tip: Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even browning.

7

Cool and serve

Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Pro tip: Cooling on a rack prevents soggy bottoms.
