How to Make Banana Honey Cinnamon Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with melted butter or line with paper liners.
  3. In a large bowl, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. Stir in ¾ cup granulated sugar.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup melted unsalted butter, ½ cup milk, ¼ cup honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 large eggs, and 1 ½ cups mashed ripe bananas.
  6. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
  7. Pour the wet ingredients into the well and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

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!
