Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup natural brown sugar
- 1 cup plant-based milk (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (optional)
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- 1/3 cup neutral oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with oil for easy cleanup and even baking.
- Mash the Bananas: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly using a fork or potato masher until smooth to provide natural sweetness and moisture.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Add plant-based milk, neutral oil, natural brown sugar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (optional), and natural vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and natural gelling agent to remove lumps and help the muffins rise evenly.
- Bring It All Together: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture using a spatula until just combined, avoiding overmixing to keep the muffins tender and fluffy.
- Fill and Bake: Divide the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to maintain moisture and ease handling.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for natural sweetness and soft texture.
- Mix the batter only until wet and dry ingredients are combined to avoid tough muffins.
- Ensure oven temperature is accurate to help muffins rise well without drying out.
- Add nuts, chocolate chips, or fruits at the end to prevent sinking.
- Use plant-based milk at room temperature for a smoother batter.
