  • Total Time: 28 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 medium bananas (about 1–1/4 cups), very ripe
  • 2 tsp (10g) pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120g) vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup (80g) milk
  • 1 large egg

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup (66g) granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup (66g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1–1/2 tsp (9g) baking soda
  • 1–3/4 cups (210g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease it with baking spray, then set it aside.
  2. Mash the bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with the back of a large fork until mostly smooth with just a few small lumps remaining. Stir in the vanilla extract and vegetable oil until well combined.
  3. Add sugars and wet ingredients: Whisk in the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, milk, and egg until the mixture is smooth and incorporated.
  4. Mix the spices and leavening: Using a spatula, stir in the ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, Kosher salt, and baking soda until evenly combined.
  5. Incorporate the flour: Gently fold in the all-purpose flour with a spatula, mixing just until no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix to keep the muffins tender.
  6. Fill muffin cups: Using a medium cookie scoop or large spoon, evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each mostly full.
  7. Bake the muffins: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking for even cooking. The muffins are done when tops are golden and domed, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
  8. Cool and serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then carefully transfer them to a baking rack to cool completely or serve warm. Enjoy your delicious banana muffins!

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best sweetness and texture in your muffins.
  • Do not overmix the batter to prevent dense muffins.
  • You can substitute the milk with a dairy-free alternative to make these muffins lactose-free.
  • Optionally, add chopped nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
