Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ c. all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp. baking soda
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • ½ c. granulated sugar
  • ¼ c. unsalted butter melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • ½ c. buttermilk
  • 2 ripe bananas mashed (about 1 c.)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, buttermilk, and mashed bananas until smooth.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Stir the wet and dry ingredients together until just combined. Overmixing can make the muffins tough instead of light and fluffy.
  • The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be. Look for bananas with lots of brown spots on the peel.
  • If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, you can make a quick substitute by mixing ½ cup of milk with ½ tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Start checking your muffins around the 18-minute mark. If a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, they’re done.
