Learn how to make classic banana muffins that are moist and delicious. This recipe uses ripe bananas and simple ingredients for a perfect treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/4 cup milk (optional, for extra moisture)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup muffin tin, or line with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gently fold in the mashed bananas until just combined.
  6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk if using, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • Do not overmix the batter; this can lead to tough muffins.
  • For extra moist muffins, you can add an extra tablespoon of milk or a little unsweetened applesauce.
