  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 3 large bananas mashed
  • ¾ c white sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • c butter melted

Instructions
 

  • Step: Fire up your oven to an easy 350 degrees. (175 degrees C). Slather a thin coating of your nearest non-stick, or opt for easy-to-use paper liners. (Our personal favorite). Slowly sift the following ingredients together:
    - Baking powder
    - Baking soda
    - Flour
    - Salt
    Set that aside.
  • Step: Carefully combine the following ingredients into a decently sized bowl:
    - Sugar
    - Egg
    - Melted butter
    - Bananas
    Fold in your fabulous flour mixture and mix that until silky smooth. Swiftly scoop that beautiful mixture into your muffin pans.
  • Step: Bake that banana goodness in your hot and ready oven for approximately 10-15 magical minutes. (If they’re the cute mini kind). If you’re opting for the larger-sized muffins, try baking them for a bit longer at approximately 25-30 minutes instead. When your muffins are ready, you’ll be able to tell as they will spring back when you give them a light tap.
