Banana Muffin Recipe
Homemade banana bread muffins are the perfect easy and delicious dessert. Soft, moist, and packed with classic banana bread flavor, they bake up quickly and are ideal for breakfast, snacking, or sharing!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour measured then sifted
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vinegar
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 3 ripe bananas mashed
- 1/4 cup oil
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and baking powder.
- In a separate bowl, use an electric hand mixer to beat eggs and sugar for 2 minutes.
- Whisk in the vinegar and sour cream. Once combined, add the mashed bananas, oil, and vanilla.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold until just combined.
- Line a muffin pan with muffin liners and divide the batter evenly. Fill each liner about ¾ of the way.
- Bake the muffins at 355°F for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Notes
- Avoid overmixing. Stir the batter just until combined, as overmixing can lead to dense, tough muffins.
- Fill evenly. Divide the batter evenly between liners so the muffins bake uniformly. Be careful not to overfill to prevent spilling.
- Check for doneness. After 18 minutes of baking, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done.
- Make them mini! For bite-sized muffins, use a mini muffin pan. Lower the oven temperature to 350°F and bake for 12–15 minutes.
