Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend for variation)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup natural brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with vegetable oil.
  2. Mash the Bananas: In a large bowl, mash ripe bananas until smooth with a few small lumps remaining for texture.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: Add plant-based milk, vegetable oil, natural brown sugar, and vanilla extract (natural) to the mashed bananas. Whisk until everything is well incorporated.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend), baking powder, baking soda, and natural gelling agent. Stir in chopped nuts if using.
  5. Blend Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until no dry flour remains. Be careful not to overmix to keep your muffins light and fluffy.
  6. Bake: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool slightly before removing from the tin.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to prevent dense muffins.
  • Measure flour correctly by spooning and leveling to avoid dry muffins.
  • Make sure the oven is properly preheated for optimal rising.
  • Add texture variations like nuts, seeds, or dried fruits for extra flavor layers.
