Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 3 bananas ripe, mashed
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla flavoring
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter

For Healthier Banana Muffins

  • 1 1/2 cup coconut or oat flour in place of all-purpose flour

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

  • In a small mixing bowl, combine bananas, egg, butter, and vanilla flavoring. Mix together well. 
  • Using a wooden spoon, gently fold the wet ingredients into the flour mixture. Carefully combine until a dough is created. 
  • Use an ice-cream scooper to scoop the muffin mixture into a large muffin tin. Filling each opening about 1/2 to 1/3 of the way full.
  • Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. 

Notes
