Ingredients for Banana Berry Muffins

  • All Purpose Flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Ground Cinnamon
  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter
  • Vanilla Essence
  • 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen berries (blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, or a mix!)

How to Make Banana Berry Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. In a large bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork. Add 2 large eggs, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Gently fold in 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen berries (blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, or a mix!).
  6. Fill the prepared muffin cups about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
