Ingredients
1/2 cup Butter
1 cup Sugar
2 Eggs
1 tsp Vanilla Essence
2 cups Flour
2 tsp Baking Powder
4 Bananas (mashed)
Pinch Salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C.
- In a mixing bowl, beat 1/2 cup butter and 1 cup sugar together until creamy.
- Add 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla essence, mixing well to combine.
- Sift together 2 cups flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Add this to the butter mixture.
- Stir in 4 mashed bananas until just combined.
- Fill muffin pans two-thirds full with the batter.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, or until golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
- Serve warm with butter if desired.
Hints & Tips
- Use ripe bananas – Overripe bananas with brown spots will give your muffins the sweetest flavour and softest texture.
- Don’t overmix – Mix the batter just until combined to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
- Add extras – Fold in chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or blueberries for a fun variation.
- Test for doneness – Insert a toothpick into the centre; if it comes out clean, they’re ready.
- Freeze for later – These muffins freeze well for up to 2 months; just thaw and enjoy.
