How to Make Banana Muffin Tops Or Muffins And Mini Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven.
  2. 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.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. 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.
  5. Beat on medium speed with an electric mixer until well combined, with only small banana bits remaining.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, gently mixing with a rubber spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Stir in ½ cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips (optional).
  8. Fill muffin cups almost to the top. For mini muffins, fill about ¾ full.
  9. Gently tap the pan on the counter to level the batter.
  10. 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.
  11. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
