Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 very ripe bananas (about 3/4 cup mashed)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup mild olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1-2 teaspoons milk, any kind (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 24-cup mini muffin tin with paper liners or grease each cup.
  2. Mash the bananas in a large bowl until smooth. Add the egg and oil, then whisk until combined.
  3. Sprinkle the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon (if using) over the wet mixture. Stir just until no dry streaks remain. If the batter is too thick, add milk 1 teaspoon at a time.
  4. Divide the batter among the mini muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the tops spring back and a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into halves or quarters for serving.

Notes

These mini muffins freeze exceptionally well, so make a double batch. The batter comes together in one bowl with no mixer required, and the longest wait is the bake itself.
