Ingredients
Banana Bread Batter
1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon (optional but recommended)
½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted & slightly cooled
½ cup (100g) brown sugar
¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temp
1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
3 medium very ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 heaping cup)
Optional mix-ins: ½ cup chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or ¼ cup mini chocolate chips on top
Instructions
1. Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla, and mashed bananas.
4. Combine
Add dry ingredients to wet and stir just until no flour streaks remain.
Do not overmix or they’ll be dense!
5. Fill Muffin Tin
Divide batter evenly into 12 cups (each about ¾ full).
Add chocolate chips, nuts, or streusel on top if desired.
6. Bake
Bake 15–18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool in pan 5 minutes, then transfer to rack.
Notes
For extra flavor and texture, sprinkle chopped walnuts, chocolate chips, or a dash of cinnamon on top before baking. Drizzling a little honey or maple syrup over the warm muffins adds a deliciously sweet finish.
