Banana Muffins Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- 1/2 cup plant-based milk
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly. Mash the ripe bananas in a bowl until mostly smooth with a few small chunks remaining for texture.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and natural gelling agent to distribute the leavening and sweetness evenly.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the plant-based milk, vegetable oil, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and vanilla extract (natural) into the mashed bananas. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
- Blend Everything Together: Pour the wet banana mixture into the bowl with dry ingredients. Gently fold together until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins light and fluffy; the batter should be thick with some lumps.
- Fill Muffin Cups and Bake: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow muffins to cool slightly before removing from the tin.
Notes
- Use overripe bananas for maximum sweetness and flavor.
- Do not overmix the batter to maintain a light texture.
- Check muffin doneness with a toothpick to prevent over- or under-baking.
- Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing and better baking results.
- Let muffins cool properly to avoid sogginess and improve texture.
