Super Easy Banana Muffins
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2
Line a 12-cavity muffin pan with muffin liners.
3
In a small bowl, mash the bananas thoroughly with a fork.
4
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the mashed bananas, canola oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and eggs vigorously until smooth and combined.
5
Add the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the bowl. Continue whisking until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
6
Spoon an even amount of batter into each muffin liner.
7
Bake the muffins on middle rack of oven until a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean, 15-25 minutes.
8
Check to see that muffins are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
9
Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove from the pan and allow to cool completely on a wire rack. Store leftovers at room temperature for 2 days or in the refrigerator for 3 days.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Banana Ripeness is Key 🍌Use bananas with brown spots or even fully brown skins for maximum sweetness and moisture—they'll make your muffins naturally tender without extra sugar.
- Don't Overmix the Batter 🥣Mix wet and dry ingredients until just combined with visible flour streaks remaining; overmixing develops gluten and creates tough, dense muffins instead of tender crumbs.
- Room Temperature Eggs Matter 🥚Let eggs sit out for 15 minutes before mixing to ensure they blend smoothly with oil, creating a better emulsion and more uniform, moist texture throughout.
- Toast Your Cinnamon Spice ✨Lightly bloom the cinnamon with the dry ingredients or briefly warm it to enhance its natural oils, deepening the spice flavor in every bite.
- Cool Before Removing from Pan 🧊Let muffins rest in the pan for 5 minutes after baking before turning out; this prevents them from breaking apart while they're still too fragile.
