Ingredients

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

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, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.

Step 3

Add the unsweetened applesauce, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and stir until well combined.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix; it’s okay if a few small lumps remain.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 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 tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
