BANANA MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly brush a 12-muffin tin with butter and set aside.
• Whisk the flour, baking soda, brown sugar, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Whisk the banana, oil, milk, eggs, salt, and vanilla in a large measuring cup with a spout or another bowl.
• Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour wet ingredients into the center; then stir with a wooden spoon until the dry ingredients are moistened but still lumpy. Do not overmix the batter or your muffins will come out dense. Gently stir in the nuts. Divide the batter evenly into the muffin tin.
• Put the muffins in the oven and immediately reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through the cooking. (Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin to check if it is done. Toothpick should come out clean). Cool muffins in the pan on a rack for a couple minutes. Turn the muffins out of the pan and cool on the rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

HIGH ALTITUDE BANANA BREAD MUFFINS YOU WILL LOVE

Steps:

• To begin, mix your eggs and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Either let your stand mixer run while you go to the next steps, or stir several minutes until it has fluffed up a bit from the air being mixed in.
• Next, scoop out 1/2 cup of coconut oil, place it in a microwave safe dish, and microwave 30 to 40 seconds until melted. Pour into the egg mixture.
• At this point, preheat the oven to 350° and either grease your muffin tin or put muffin liners in.
• Then, peel the bananas, break them into smaller pieces, and mash them with a fork. Add to the batter and blend well.
• Now, add in the applesauce and vanilla extract.
• After that, start pouring in the flour, salt, cinnamon, baking soda, and walnuts. Keep mixing until well blended.
• Next, fill your muffin liners about 2/3 full with batter. If you don't have a mixing bowl with a pouring spout, a large spoon makes this much less messy.
• Once the oven is hot, place your muffin tin in the oven and bake for about 18 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Once the pan is cool enough to take out the muffins, you can start your second batch (if you only have one muffin tin, like me). Let cool slightly and enjoy!

HIGH-ALTITUDE BANANA MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees, and line a 12 cup muffin tin with paper liners. In a large bowl, beat together the sugar and butter until combined. Beat in the eggs, vanilla, and mashed banana and mix until combined.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Add in the dry ingredients along with the chopped walnuts until no dry pockets remain. Let the batter rest for 20 minutes at room temperature. Then even divide the batter in your muffin tins, and sprinkle the tops with sugar. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. The tops should be lightly golden and puffed up.

BANANA CRUNCH MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Line 18 large muffin cups with paper liners. Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add the melted butter and blend. Combine the eggs, milk, vanilla, and mashed bananas, and add them to the flour-and-butter mixture. Scrape the bowl and blend well. Don't overmix.
• Fold the diced bananas, walnuts, granola, and coconut into the batter. Spoon the batter into the paper liners, filling each 1 to the top. Top each muffin with dried banana chips, granola, or coconut, if desired. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the tops are brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool slightly, remove from the pan, and serve.

BANANA NUT MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and lightly butter 2 muffin tins.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside. Mash 2 of the bananas with a fork in a small bowl so they still have a bit of texture. With an electric mixer fitted with a wire whisk, whip the remaining bananas and sugar together like you mean it, for a good 3 minutes. Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla and beat well, scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice. Mix in the dry ingredients just until incorporated. Fold in the nuts and the mashed bananas with a rubber spatula. Spoon the batter into the muffin tins to fill them about halfway. Give them a rap on the counter to get any air bubbles out.
• Bake until a toothpick stuck in the muffins comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes before turning the muffins out. Serve warm or at room temperature.
