Baking Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Spray a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray or use cupcake liners.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a medium bowl. Set aside. In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Then, beat in the melted butter, brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and milk.
  • Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Fold in nuts or chocolate chips if using.
  • Spoon the batter into muffin liners, filling them to the top. Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350°F (177°C) and bake for an additional 16-18 minutes.
  • Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
