How to Make Banana Graham Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Whisk until well combined.
  3. In a medium bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork. Add ½ cup unsweetened applesauce, ½ cup milk, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in ½ cup chopped pecans (optional).
  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 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
