Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick spray.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the mashed bananas, sugar, beaten egg, and melted butter. Mix until smooth and there are no lumps.
  • Fold the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined. Do not overmix. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
  • Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the centers are set and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
