Ingredients for Bananalisious Banana Muffins

  • Sugar
  • Splenda Sugar Substitute
  • Butter
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • Egg Whites
  • Bread Flour

How to Make Bananalisious Banana Muffins

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the melted coconut oil and brown sugar, mixing until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped walnuts (optional).
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 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 a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

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.
