Ingredients

• 2 ripe bananas
• 1 tablespoon orange zest
• 0.25 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.33 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or lightly grease the cups.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the orange zest, orange juice, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 4

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 5

Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
