BANANA MUFFINS

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 45m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups smashed bananas (about 4 to 6 bananas)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup milk
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/8 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cups chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly brush a 12-muffin tin with butter and set aside.
  • Whisk the flour, baking soda, brown sugar, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Whisk the banana, oil, milk, eggs, salt, and vanilla in a large measuring cup with a spout or another bowl.
  • Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour wet ingredients into the center; then stir with a wooden spoon until the dry ingredients are moistened but still lumpy. Do not overmix the batter or your muffins will come out dense. Gently stir in the nuts. Divide the batter evenly into the muffin tin.
  • Put the muffins in the oven and immediately reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through the cooking. (Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin to check if it is done. Toothpick should come out clean). Cool muffins in the pan on a rack for a couple minutes. Turn the muffins out of the pan and cool on the rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Time 35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ cup white sugar
⅓ cup butter, melted
¼ cup lightly packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup chopped walnuts

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: Ripeness of bananas contributes to both flavor and texture of muffins. Overripe bananas are sweeter and easier to mash, leading to more moist and flavorful muffins.
  • Cream butter and sugar thoroughly: This step incorporates air, resulting in a lighter and fluffier muffin. Make sure to cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can lead to tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and no more.
  • Fill the muffin cups properly: Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full to avoid overfilling and ensure even baking.
  • Bake muffins at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking banana muffins is 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the muffins bake evenly and do not overcook.
  • Check for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done baking.

Conclusion:

Scrumptious and moist banana muffins can be yours with the right ingredients, careful preparation, and attention to detail. Using ripe bananas, creaming butter and sugar together thoroughly, avoiding overmixing, filling muffin cups appropriately, baking at the correct temperature, and checking for doneness are all crucial steps in creating perfect banana muffins. Remember these tips for consistently delightful muffins that will satisfy your cravings.
