Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, peel and mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth and slightly chunky.

Step 3

Add the unsweetened applesauce, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir well to combine.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until evenly mixed.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix as this could make the muffins dense.

Step 6

Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftover muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
