Key ingredients

• Bananas - Choose really ripe banana with several brown spots on the peel. You'll need about two bananas.
• Flour - I use regular all-purpose flour. Be certain to check out How to Measure Flour so your flour isn't too compact when measuring.
• Sugar - Use granulated sugar
• Oil - Use a light-tasting oil like canola or vegetable oil. The oil helps keep the muffins moist and helps create a great crumb.
• Eggs - The eggs help the muffins rise
• Cinnamon - The key to these delicious muffins! Ground cinnamon is added to the batter and sprinkled on top of the muffins before baking. You could also use a prepared cinnamon sugar mixture to sprinkle on the top.

Step-by-step directions

• Mash bananas with a fork or potato masher and measure out ¾ cups. Set aside.
• Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl.
• In a separate bowl, combine eggs, oil, and vanilla

• Add the combined liquids to the flour mixture. Stir just until mixed together. The batter will be very dry.
• Add the mashed bananas and fold them together with a spatula until everything is combined.

• Scoop batter into a muffin tin that has been lightly greased or lined with paper liners.
• Combine remaining cinnamon and sugar together and sprinkle about ½ teaspoon over each muffin.
• Bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 15-18 minutes or until cooked through.

• Rest on a baking rack for a few minutes and then remove muffins from tin. Continue cooling muffins on the baking rack.
• Serve warm or at room temperature

Recipe tips

• Use very ripe bananas. They have the sweetest flavor and the most moisture.
• When you first add the wet ingredients to the dry, the mixture will still be very dry. Just stir until slightly combined. Then add the mashed bananas and fold everything together.
• Don't overmix or the muffins will become tough.
• Use an ice cream scoop for consistently sized muffins.
• Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of one muffin. If the toothpick comes out with moist batter, they need more time. If there are just a few crumbs on the toothpick, they are done!
• Store fully cooled muffins at room temperature in an airtight container.
