Ingredients

• 3 pieces Ripe bananas
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 cups Milk
• 0.5 cups Jelly or jam of your choice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a standard 12-cup muffin tin by lining it with cupcake liners or greasing it lightly.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly using a fork or potato masher until smooth.

Step 3

Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and milk to the mashed bananas. Whisk until the mixture is well combined.

Step 4

In a separate large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.

Step 5

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold the ingredients together until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.

Step 6

Fill each muffin cup about a third full with the batter. Drop about 1 teaspoon of jelly or jam in the center of each muffin cup, then cover with additional batter until the cup is about two-thirds full. Ensure the jelly is fully enclosed by the batter.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops of the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the edge (not through the jelly) comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
