These Banana Bliss Muffins are a delightful twist on the classic banana muffin recipe, offering a moist and flavorful treat perfect for any time of the day.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare a muffin tin by greasing it or lining it with paper liners.
Using paper liners makes cleanup easier and gives the muffins a professional look.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, ground cinnamon, and brown sugar. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
Sifting the dry ingredients can help avoid lumps and ensure a smoother batter.
In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the milk, melted butter, honey, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Using a fork to mash the bananas works well, but a hand blender can make the mixture even smoother.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Do not overmix.
Overmixing can make the muffins dense, so mix until you no longer see dry flour.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Using an ice cream scoop can help portion the batter evenly.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Rotating the muffin tin halfway through baking can ensure even cooking.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling the muffins on a wire rack prevents them from becoming soggy at the bottom.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Enjoy them as a snack or breakfast treat.
Pair the muffins with a cup of tea or coffee for a delightful experience.
