Small Batch One Banana Muffins
These small batch one banana muffins are a quick one bowl recipe that gives you 6 soft and flavorful muffins. It's the perfect way to use up that one brown banana sitting on your counter.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe bananas
- ¼ cup (56.75 g) butter melted and cooled
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 large egg room temp
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) baking powder
- ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon (0.25 teaspoon) salt
- ¼ teaspoon (0.25 teaspoon) cinnamon
- ¾ cup (93.75 g) all-purpose flour
- turbinado sugar for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a muffin pan with nonstick spray or line with cupcake liners. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl mash banana. Add melted butter, sugar and honey and mix until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla.
- Add the baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and flour and mix until combined.
- Spoon batter into prepared muffin pan. You want the batter to be ¾ filled in each muffin cup. I like to stagger muffins, as pictured, because this helps the muffins rise more. Sprinkle tops of batter with turbinado sugar.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the muffin comes out clean. Allow to cool.
Notes
Make sure all ingredients are room temperature before making.
Add ⅓ cup of chocolate chips if you want.
Topping the muffins with coarse turbinado sugar is what gives the muffins a slightly crispy/crunchy top.
If wanting to make mini muffins bake at 350 F for about 10-12 minutes.
I have given both cups and grams as measurements. Grams will be more precise, especially when measuring flour. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, no problem! Just lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup to insure its not packed in there. Light and fluffy is the key.
