Spiced Banana Muffins
Description
Chocolate chips were optional so of course I added them! Another easy, delicious banana muffin recipe from Sally’s Baking Addiction – enjoy!
Ingredients
1 1/2 c. (188 g) flour
1 t. EACH baking powder, baking soda AND cinnamon
1/2 t. salt AND 1/4 t. nutmeg
1 1/2 c. (345 g) mashed banana – usually 3 or 4 depending on the size
6 T. (85 g) butter, melted, but not hot – you could also use melted coconut oil
2/3 c. (135 g) packed brown sugar
1 egg, room temperature
1 t. vanilla AND 2 T. milk
optional additions – 1 cup chopped walnuts, pecans or chocolate chips – I used 1/2 cup each of chopped pecans and mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425 and spray a 12 cup muffin tin. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg in a medium and set aside. Use your electric mixer to mash the bananas, then add in the butter, brown sugar, egg, vanilla and milk and beat on medium speed until well combined. Pour in all of the dry ingredients, mix on low to start, scrape down the bowl as needed and then beat again until combined. Add any extra additions and stir again.
Divide the batter evenly into the 12 muffin cups and bake for 5 minutes at 425. Don’t open the oven door, but reduce the heat to 350 and bake for another 15 minutes until the centers are set, they spring back to a light touch and/or an instant thermometer reaches 200.
Allow the muffins to rest in the tin for about 10 minutes before popping them out onto a rack to cool completely. These are wonderful warm, but they also freeze beautifully.
