One Banana Muffins

Ania
Make these delicious banana muffins with only 1 banana! Sometimes we have a leftover browning banana on our counter and don't know what to do with it, so make these muffins! They are soft and fluffy with tons of flavour.

Instructions
 

  • Line your muffin tins with 6 liners and set aside. If you need a recommendation, this is my favourite tin. Mash the banana and set aside.
    one banana
  • In a medium sized bowl, add in flour, cinnamon, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine and set aside.
    1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp cornstarch, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • In a large bowl, add oil and brown sugar. Whisk together for 2-3 minutes until well combined.
    1/3 cup light brown sugar, 1/4 cup oil
  • Add the egg into the bowl and continue mixing until well combined.
    1 large egg
  • Add in the mashed bananas, vanilla, and sour cream and continue to mix until well combined.
    1/3 cup full-fat sour cream, 1 tsp vanilla, one banana
  • Add the dry ingredients in using a spatula. Gently fold until no dry streaks appear.
  • Evenly divide the batter between your liners, they should almost all the way full. Using a cookie scooper helps big time to minimize the mess.
  • Bake the muffins at 425°F for 5 minutes, then lower the temperature to 375°F and continue baking for 12-16 minutes. The muffins are ready when a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • These muffins stay fresh covered at room temperature for up to 3 days, and in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week!

Notes

Banana - Make sure your banana is very ripe. This recipe is not sweet, so the riper your banana, the sweeter they will be. Also, it should be roughly 1/2 cup, a bit more or less isn't a big deal!
