Ingredients

  • 159 grams (¾ cup) brown sugar
  • 4 oz (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • 3 large ripe bananas, peeled
  • 210 grams (1 ¾ cup) flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400º F.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the brown sugar and melted butter.
  3. Add in the egg and mix until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  4. In a small bowl, smash down the bananas until smooth.
  5. Add the smashed banana, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and continue to mix on low just until combined.
  6. Scoop the batter into a nonstick jumbo muffin pan, so that each is about ¾ full.
  7. Bake muffins for 5 minutes. Turn oven down to 350º F and continue to bake for another 16-17 minutes until golden brown. Let muffins cool slightly on a cooling rack. Enjoy!

Notes

  • These muffins can be placed in an airtight container and kept at room temperature for up to five days. They are best enjoyed slightly warmed in the microwave.
  • It's best when you wait until the bananas are extra ripe, even if the peels are black, because the riper they are, the sweeter and stronger the flavor is.
