Combine Dry Ingredients

  • In a mixing bowl, sift all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  • Then, whisk until everything is combined and set aside.

Mash the Bananas

  • You have to use ripe bananas for this recipe, but if you don’t have any, take fresh bananas, and bake them for 10 minutes at 350°F until they blacken.
  • In a large bowl, peel the bananas and mash them using a fork.

Mix Wet Ingredients

  • Then, add brown sugar, egg, melted butter, and vanilla essence to the bowl and whisk until well combined.
  • Now, add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, whisking just until everything comes together.

Fill the Muffin Pan

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit or 220 degrees Celsius.
  • Now, line a muffin pan with parchment paper or muffin paper liners.
  • Scoop the muffin batter and fill the prepared muffin tin ¾ of the way for each muffin.

Bake, Cool, & Serve!

  • Put the tin in the oven and bake for 5 minutes.
  • Adjust the temperature and set it to 350°F or 175°C.
  • Bake the muffins for an additional 15 to 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool the muffins to room temperature and serve.
