Everyone will love these sweet, buttery moist banana bread flavored mini muffins, and this recipe is the perfect way to use brown, overly ripe bananas.
These delicious miniature banana bread muffins are the perfect way to use overly ripe, very sweet, very soft bananas that are too browned to eat.
Ingredients
Bananas- overly ripened, brown bananas.
Oil- vegetable oil.
Flour- all purpose.
Instructions
To prepare the batter mix the granulated and brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, oil, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sour cream plus the pureed bananas.
Then, add the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
Using a wooden spoon, mix them in gently until they're just combined.
Fill the muffin cups until they're about two-thirds of the way full.
Sprinkle with chopped walnuts, before baking, if desired.
Mini muffins do not have to bake as long as standard-sized muffins.
Bake the mini muffins for 12-14 minutes but check them quickly at 10 minutes in case your oven runs a little hot.
To tell if they're done, a toothpick inserted right into the center should pull out with a few, moist crumbs.
Cool the muffins before storing them in an air-tight container or on a plate covered with plastic wrap for up to five days.
