Ingredients
  

Banana Muffins

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour 7 ½ oz/213 g
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • cup granulated sugar 2 ½ oz/71 g
  • cup dark brown sugar 2 oz/57 g
  • ½ cup butter 4 oz/115 g, melted
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 medium-sized bananas very ripe, mashed

Cinnamon Topping

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar 2 oz/57 g
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons butter melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  • In another large bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla and bananas until thoroughly combined.
  • Fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture until just combined. Take care not to overmix.
  • Divide batter evenly into prepared muffin cups and bake for 16-20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins come out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a rack.
  • While the muffins are still warm, prepare the topping: combine the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
  • Brush the tops of the muffins with the melted butter, roll in the cinnamon-sugar and then return to the rack to let cool completely.
  • Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, freeze for up to 2 months. Defrost at room temperature for about an hour or microwave briefly.
