    how to serve banana muffins

    Banana muffins make an excellent breakfast or snack any time of day. You can serve them warm or at room temperature.

    They're really great with a little bit of honey or butter on them.

    They are also excellent with your favorite cup of coffee in the morning.

    how to make banana muffins

    Detailed instructions and measurements to make banana muffins are listed in the recipe card at the bottom of this page.

    1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
    2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, egg, almond milk, vanilla extract, coconut oil, and honey. Mix until combined. Set it aside.
    3. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until thoroughly combined.
    4. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix to combine. You don't want to over mix, but make sure it's well combined.
    5. Spray a muffin pan with nonstick spray (or line with cupcake liners). Fill each cup about ⅔ of the way up.
    6. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or just until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
    7. Allow them to cool and enjoy!

    tips, tricks and faqs

    Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter can result in dense cupcakes. Only mix it until it is combined and then stop mixing.

    Don't worry about your mashed bananas being completely smooth. If you have little chunks of banana left, they are perfect because you'll get bites of them in the muffins.

    Be careful when adding the melted coconut oil to the wet ingredients. Once coconut oil gets back to room temperature (or cold) it will solidify again.

    How long do you bake banana muffins?

    Banana muffins need to be baked for 20 minutes at 350°F or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

    substitutions and alterations

    While I always like to offer substitutions and alternations for my recipes, I usually don't when it comes to baking.

    Baking is a science and can be finicky. The ingredients and measurements I've given yield the best results so I don't recommend substituting or altering this recipe.

    how to store banana muffins

    Banana muffins are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
