Time 27m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 overripe bananas
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and lightly butter 2 muffin tins.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside. Mash 2 of the bananas with a fork in a small bowl so they still have a bit of texture.

Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla and beat well, scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice. Mix in the dry ingredients just until incorporated. Fold in the nuts and the mashed bananas with a rubber spatula. Spoon the batter into the muffin tins to fill them about halfway. Give them a rap on the counter to get any air bubbles out.
  • Bake until a toothpick stuck in the muffins comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes before turning the muffins out. Serve warm or at room temperature.

SUPER MOIST BANANA NUT MUFFINS



Super Moist Banana Nut Muffins image

This muffin recipe I have adapted from many recipes put together until I got the perfect banana muffin! Love these they are great, super moist and yummy!

Provided by Paragon

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 40m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
4 overripe bananas
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup soft unsalted butter
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup pecans, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees and lightly butter 24 muffin tins.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder,cinnamon and salt; set aside.
  • With an electric mixer, whip the bananas and sugar together for a good 3 minutes. Add the soft butter, eggs, and vanilla and beat well, scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice.
  • Mix in the dry ingredients just until incorporated.
  • Fold in the nuts if desired with a rubber spatula.
  • Spoon the batter into the muffin tins to fill them about halfway.
  • Bake until a toothpick stuck in the muffins comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes before turning the muffins out.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use chopped nuts: Chopped nuts add a nice texture and flavor to the muffins.
  • Don't overfill the muffin cups: Fill the cups only about 2/3 full. If you overfill them, the muffins will rise too much and become misshapen.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 20 minutes, but it can vary depending on your oven.
  • Let the muffins cool before serving: Let the muffins cool for at least 5 minutes before serving. This will help them to set and firm up.
