Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour for a healthier option)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 3 large ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 ¼ cups)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (or coconut sugar for a natural sweetener)
- ¼ cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
- ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce (or yogurt)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup plant-based milk (or dairy milk)
- Optional add-ins:
- ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- ¼ cup dried fruits (raisins, cranberries, etc.)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
- In a separate bowl, combine the mashed bananas, sugar, oil, applesauce, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix until smooth.
- Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.
- If using any add-ins like nuts or chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
