Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • Paper liners
  • Large bowl
  • Medium bowl
  • Fork
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Wire rack
  • Oven mitts

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups ALL PURPOSE FLOUR
  • 1 tsp BAKING SODA
  • 0.5 tsp SALT
  • 3 large BANANAS
  • 0.75 cup SUGAR
  • 1 large EGG
  • 0.33 cup BUTTER
  • 1 tsp VANILLA EXTRACT
  • 0.5 cup PECANS

Instructions
 

Step 1:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. This makes the oven very hot. It ensures the muffins rise well.

Step 2:

  • Place paper liners in your tin. This stops the batter from sticking. It makes cleanup much faster later.

Step 3:

  • Melt your butter in a bowl. You can use the microwave. Let it cool for a moment.

Step 4:

  • Peel your three ripe bananas. Put them in the medium bowl. Mash them with a fork.

Step 5:

  • The bananas should be very smooth. A few lumps are okay. This adds a nice texture.

Step 6:

  • Pour the butter into the bananas. Stir them together until combined. The mix will be thick.

Step 7:

  • Add the sugar to the mix. Crack the egg into the bowl. Add the vanilla extract now.

Step 8:

  • Stir the wet ingredients well. The mixture should look smooth. Ensure the egg is blended.

Step 9:

  • Sprinkle the salt over the mix. Add the baking soda as well. Stir these in gently now.

Step 10:

  • Pour the flour into the bowl. Fold it in very slowly. Do not mix it too much.

Step 11:

  • Stop stirring when flour is gone. Overmixing makes the muffins tough. Keep the batter light.

Step 12:

  • Scoop batter into the muffin tin. Fill each cup almost full. This makes large muffin tops.

Step 13:

  • Place the tin in the oven. Bake for twenty-five minutes. Set a timer for safety.

Step 14:

  • Test them with a small toothpick. It should come out very dry. This means they are done.

Step 15:

  • Remove the tin from the oven. Let them cool for five minutes. Then move to a rack.

Notes

Use bananas with many brown spots.
Measure the flour very carefully.
Do not overmix the dry ingredients.
Add chocolate chips for a treat.
Room temperature eggs mix much better.
Check your oven temp with a thermometer.
Grease the tin if using no liners.
Walnuts are a great pecan swap.
Serve these muffins while they are warm.
Top with coarse sugar for crunch.
