How to Make Banana Muffin Tops Or Muffins And Mini Muffins
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven.
- Grease and flour a 12-cup muffin tin, a 10-cup muffin top tin, or a mini muffin tin. Alternatively, spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- In a large bowl, mash 3 very ripe bananas with a fork. Add ¾ cup packed brown sugar, ½ cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Beat on medium speed with an electric mixer until well combined, with only small banana bits remaining.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, gently mixing with a rubber spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in ½ cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips (optional).
- Fill muffin cups almost to the top. For mini muffins, fill about ¾ full.
- Gently tap the pan on the counter to level the batter.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Baking time may vary depending on your oven and muffin size.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. 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!
