Servings: 12 Muffins
Ingredients
- 3 medium Ripe Bananas 1 ½ cups mashed
- ⅔ cup Light Brown Sugar more for sprinkling on top
- ¼ cup Avocado Oil or other neutral oil
- ¼ cup Plant-Based Milk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour spooned and leveled
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon Nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt see note
- 1 cup Old-Fashioned Oats more for topping
Instructions
- Grease or line a muffin tin for 12 muffins then set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Mash the ripe bananas (1 ½ cups mashed) with a fork until smooth in a large bowl.
- Add in the brown sugar, avocado oil, plant-based milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg until completely combined.
- Add the dry mixture and the old-fashioned oats to the wet mixture and gently fold together until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Evenly divide batter between 12 muffin liners and sprinkle tops with a few extra oats and a sprinkle of brown sugar.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden. Gently press the top of the muffin, if it springs back and doesn't leave an indent, it’s done. If it feels soft or leaves a dent, it will need a few extra minutes in the oven. Since every oven is different, if yours tends to run hot, start checking the muffins earlier.
- Let the muffins cool for at least 15 minutes before enjoying!
Notes
Be sure to measure your flour correctly using the spoon-and-level method. Fluff the flour in its container, spoon it into a measuring cup, and level it off with a knife. Scooping directly from the container can pack in too much flour, leading to dry and dense muffins.
If adding ingredients like chocolate chips or walnuts, fold the batter until it's nearly combined, leaving a few pockets of flour, then gently mix in the add-ins until just incorporated.
Important Note about Salt: Not all salts are made equal and cannot be substituted 1:1. If you are substituting table salt for kosher salt, you will need to cut the amount called for in the recipe by at least half.
