Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 3 medium Ripe bananas (mashed)
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 piece Egg (large)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (plain, nonfat or low-fat)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined. Set aside.

Step 3

In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the sugar, melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt, and whisk until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula. Mix just until no streaks of flour remain, being careful not to overmix, as this could make the muffins dense.

Step 5

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 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 tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Step 8

Enjoy your light and fluffy banana muffins, which can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
