Deliciously moist and fluffy banana muffins made with ripe bananas, perfect for a quick breakfast or snack.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 large bananas)
- ¼ cup avocado oil or vegetable oil
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar, tightly packed
- 2 large eggs (room temperature preferred)
- ¼ cup buttermilk (room temperature preferred)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, cold
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425F (220C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
- Add the avocado oil and melted butter to the mashed bananas. Stir well.
- Stir in both the sugar and light brown sugar until well-combined.
- Add eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract to the banana mixture and stir well.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Portion the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each liner about ¾ full.
- If using, combine the streusel topping ingredients and sprinkle over each muffin.
- Bake the muffins for 8 minutes at 425F, then reduce the temperature to 350F (175C) and continue baking for another 7-8 minutes.
- Use a toothpick to test for doneness, then cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Allow melted butter to cool before mixing to prevent cooking the eggs.
- Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor.
