How to make banana bread muffins
If you are like me and have over-ripe bananas always laying around, this recipe is the perfect way to use them up.
- Stir all of the dry ingredients in a bowl.
- Mix together the sugar, mashed banana, egg, vanilla and butter.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients and fill muffin cups about 1/2 way.
- Top with a crumble of butter, cinnamon, flour and brown sugar. Yum!
Can you freeze muffins?
Yes! To freeze baked muffins, let them cool completely. Place them on a baking sheet and freeze for 1-2 hours. When they are completely frozen, place them in a freezer safe bag. They will stay good for about 2 months in the freezer. To reheat, microwave for about 20 seconds.
Tips for Banana Bread Muffins:
- Make 2 batches! They go fast and you can freeze them.
- Use the back of a fork or a potato masher to easily mash bananas.
- If you love chocolate, add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the batter.
- Want additional protein, add 1/2 cup chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the batter.
- To make mini muffins, bake for approximately 10 minutes.
- Don’t have ripe bananas? Place them in a brown paper bag and close loosely. They should start to ripen in a day.
