Learn how to make classic banana muffins with this easy recipe. Discover three secrets to ensure your muffins are incredibly moist and delicious every time. Perfect for a delightful breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas and buttermilk.
  6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients alternately with the banana mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure tender muffins.
  • Buttermilk contributes to a moister crumb. If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1/4 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
