Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup natural brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly to ensure your muffins come out easily.
  2. Mash the Bananas: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth but still slightly chunky for texture.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: Add vegetable oil, plant-based milk, natural brown sugar, and vanilla extract (natural) to the mashed bananas and whisk together until well combined.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon (natural), and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, folding gently until just incorporated.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups and Bake: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy warm for the best cozy experience!

Notes

  • Choose ripe bananas: The sweeter and more spotted, the better the flavor and moisture.
  • Don’t overmix: Stir just until the ingredients come together to prevent dense muffins.
  • Check oven temperature: Use an oven thermometer to make sure your oven is accurate and your muffins bake evenly.
  • Add-ins timing: Fold in nuts or chocolate chips lightly at the end to avoid overworking the batter.
  • Test for doneness: Insert a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean, the muffins are ready.
