A quick and easy one-bowl banana muffin recipe using overripe bananas for soft, moist, and tender muffins. Perfect for breakfast, snacks, or a no-fuss dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium overripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 ½ cups (190 grams) all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted (can substitute coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) plain yogurt (Greek yogurt works well)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth with a few small lumps remaining.
  3. Add the melted butter to the mashed bananas and stir until combined.
  4. Mix in sugar, egg, and yogurt until the batter is uniform.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  6. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture until just incorporated; do not overmix.
  7. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool muffins in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use overripe bananas for best flavor and moisture. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep muffins tender. Yogurt helps keep muffins moist even the next day. Tent muffins with foil if browning too fast. Room temperature eggs blend better. For gluten-free, substitute flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend. For vegan, replace egg with flax egg and use coconut oil and dairy-free yogurt.
