Banana Muffins

Inspired by Inge

Banana Muffins are a delightful and moist treat, packed with the natural sweetness of ripe bananas. The combination of sugar, eggs, and vegetable oil creates a tender, fluffy texture, while baking soda ensures a perfect rise.

The batter comes together effortlessly, blending dry and wet ingredients for a beautifully balanced flavor. Once baked to golden perfection, these muffins are soft on the inside with a slightly crisp top. They’re perfect for breakfast, a snack, or even a comforting dessert. Enjoy them fresh from the oven or store them for a convenient grab-and-go bite!

4. Combine the mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just moistened.
5. Prepare the muffin pan: Spray a muffin tin with oil spray and fill each cup with ¼ cup of batter.
6. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
