As a busy working mom, I'm always looking for simple and delicious recipes that I can whip up in a hurry. These banana muffins are the perfect solution! They're moist and flavorful, and they're so easy to make. I love that I can use ripe bananas that would otherwise go to waste. And my kids love them, which is always a bonus.

Here's a little tip: If you don't have any apple sauce on hand, you can substitute plain yogurt or sour cream. I've tried both, and they both work well. You can also add a handful of chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for a little extra flavor.

Step-by-step

    • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
    • Spray a 6 or 12 muffing baking pan with cooking spray, or line it with muffin liners.
    • In a large bowl combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
    • In another bowl whisk the mashed bananas with the eggs, apple sauce, milk and vanilla extract.
    • Add the banana mixture to the flour mixture and using a spatula mix everything until the flour is moistened, don't over mix, and keep in mind the batter will be a bit lumpy.
    • Spoon the muffin batter (I used an ice cream scoop) into the prepared muffin pan. The batter should be enough for 12 small muffins or 6 jumbo muffins.
    • Turn down the oven to 400 F degrees and place the muffins in the oven. Bake them for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
