Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ⅓ cup melted butter (or coconut oil)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  • ½ cup chocolate chips (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In another bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add in brown sugar, white sugar, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Be careful not to overmix—stop once everything is just combined.
  5. If using, fold in walnuts or chocolate chips.
  6. Use a spoon or ice cream scoop to divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and moisture. Don’t overmix the batter to keep your muffins light and fluffy. These freeze well, so double the batch!
