How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s get baking! Follow these simple steps to create your Banana Muffins Moist and delicious:

1. Preheat Oven & Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or grease it well.
2. Mash Bananas: In a large bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth, leaving a few small lumps for texture.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the whisked egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir until everything is well combined.
4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Make sure to break up any lumps in the sugar.
5. Combine Batter: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix! If you’re adding chocolate chips and walnuts, fold them in now.
6. Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
7. Bake: Bake for 15-21 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
8. Cool: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
