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

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
