Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 3 medium Ripe bananas
• 0.5 cups Honey
• 0.25 cups Vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using). Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.

Step 4

Add the honey, vegetable oil, egg, vanilla extract, and milk to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can lead to dense muffins.

Step 6

Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven 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 pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
