Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 3 medium Ripe bananas
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 0.33 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix – it’s okay if a few lumps remain.

Step 6

Divide the muffin batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 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, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious yogurt banana muffins!
