Cida's Banana Muffin
Ingredients
- 250g banana (the riper, the better)
- 40g yogurt
- 100g butter
- Vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 80g brown sugar
- 100g walnuts (or nuts of choice)
- 10g baking soda
- 5g cinnamon
- 5g salt
- 150g all-purpose flour
How To Do It
Start by preheating the oven to 175°C (350°F) and lining a muffin tin with paper cases.
In a large bowl, mash three ripe bananas until smooth. Then mix in melted butter, sugar, a beaten egg, and a little vanilla extract. Sprinkle in baking soda, a pinch of salt, and flour, and gently fold everything together until just combined—be careful not to overmix.
Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool slightly before serving, though they’re especially delicious when still warm.
