Delicious Banana Cinnamon Muffins Recipe for Breakfast

Ingredients

Servings:
12
  • 2 ripe bananas (mashed)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup sugar (can be adjusted)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup milk (or buttermilk)
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp sugar (for topping)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.

    This ensures even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

    Sifting can help remove lumps.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together mashed bananas, sugar, egg, oil, milk, and vanilla extract.

    Ensure the bananas are well mashed.
  4. Combine Mixtures

    Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

    A few lumps are okay.
  5. Add Optional Ingredients

    Fold in walnuts and chocolate chips if using.

    This adds texture and flavor.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups

    Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Sprinkle with sugar if desired.

    This helps to create a nice crust.
  7. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    Keep an eye on them towards the end.
  8. Cool and Serve

    Allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
