Ingredients

  • cup (76 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 large ripe bananas
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 ½ cups (187.5 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup (122 g) oats & honey granola, divided

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • Melt butter and set aside to slightly cool.
  • In a large bowl, mash bananas with a fork. (You can use up to 5 regular-size bananas or 6 small bananas in this recipe.)
  • Add melted butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla. Mix well.
  • Add in flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until ingredients are JUST incorporated. (Be careful not to overmix.)
  • Add about 4 tablespoons (¼ cup) of batter to each cup of the lined muffin tin, filling to the top.
  • Sprinkle a heaping tablespoon of granola over each muffin.
  • Bake for 28-32 minutes, or until the center of the muffin springs back when touched and an inserted toothpick comes out with a few crumbs but no wet batter. They should be lightly golden on top.
  • Remove muffins from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
