Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 2 cups self rising flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly with a fork until smooth and no large chunks remain.
- Add sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and milk to the mashed bananas. Whisk these wet ingredients together until well combined and smooth.
- Sift the self-rising flour into the wet ingredients to prevent lumps. Gently fold the flour into the mixture using a spatula, stirring just until the ingredients are incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins tough.
- Using an ice cream scoop or large spoon, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips
- Use Overripe Bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be. Look for bananas with lots of brown spots for the best results.
- Don't Overmix: When combining the flour with the wet ingredients, mix just until incorporated. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins, so be gentle!
- Customize Your Muffins: Feel free to add in your favorite mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit for an extra flavor boost.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking your muffins a minute or two before the recommended baking time. A toothpick should come out clean when they’re done.
- Cool Properly: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set and prevents them from becoming soggy.
- Storage: Keep your muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze them for longer storage. Just reheat in the microwave for a warm treat anytime!
