Banana muffin

Recipe: Banana Muffins

Please use overripe bananas.

Do not overmix the batter.

Ingredients:

2 cups all purpose flour

½ teaspoon cinnamon powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

3 medium overripe bananas, mashed

2 oz or ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

¼ cup milk

1 large egg, room temperature

1-½ teaspoons vanilla

¾ cup light brown sugar, packed

¼ cup granulated sugar

*Optional toppings:

½ cup walnuts, toasted and chopped

Chocolate Chips - semisweet or milk chocolate, your choice

Preheat oven to 190C/375 degrees F. Lightly grease regular muffin pan or line with muffin papers.

In a large bowl, mix 2 cups of flour, cinnamon powder, baking soda and salt.

In another bowl, blend together mashed bananas, melted butter, milk, egg, vanilla extract and both sugars.

Stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture just until moistened or combined, do not over mix.

Scoop or spoon batter into prepared muffin pan equally divided into 9 portions.

*Arrange walnuts and chocolate chips on top of the batter if using. I put more on the center, it will spread during baking.

Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, after 10 minutes lower the oven temperature to 180C/350 degrees F and bake for another 8 to 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean. (In my oven it was ready at 18 minutes)

Allow to cool in the pan 5 to 10 minutes, then transfer the banana muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
