Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, peeled
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional add-ins: ½ cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips, or 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your muffin tin by spraying with non-stick spray or lining with muffin cups.
  2. Peel and roughly chop 3 ripe bananas and place them in your blender.
  3. Add 2 large eggs, ½ cup plain Greek yogurt, ⅓ cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the blender. Blend on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  5. Pour the dry ingredients into the blender with the wet mixture and pulse a few times to combine. Do not overmix.
  6. If using add-ins like chocolate chips or chopped walnuts, fold them in gently now.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups using a ¼ cup measuring cup.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, checking at 18 minutes with a toothpick. Muffins are done when toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for best sweetness and moisture. Avoid overblending to prevent gummy texture. Measure flour correctly by fluffing and leveling. Pull muffins out as soon as a toothpick shows moist crumbs to avoid overbaking. Clean blender immediately after use to prevent residue buildup. For gluten-free or vegan versions, swap ingredients accordingly but expect slight texture changes.
