Equipment

  • 12-count muffin pan
  • Electric mixer
  • whisk
  • Cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour spooned & leveled
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1.5 cups mashed bananas about 4 medium or 3 large ripe bananas
  • 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted (or melted coconut oil)
  • ⅔ cup brown sugar packed light or dark (or coconut sugar)
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 Tablespoons milk optional
  • 1 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Spray a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray or use cupcake liners.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a medium bowl. Set aside. In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Beat or whisk in the melted butter, brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and milk. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Fold in nuts or chocolate chips if using.
  • Spoon the batter into muffin liners, filling them to the top. Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C) and bake for an additional 16–18 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire cooling rack.
  • Muffins stay fresh covered at room temperature for a few days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes

For longer storage, freeze muffins for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature or warm in the microwave if desired.
