Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1½ teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup mashed ripe banana (about 2 medium bananas)
• ½ cup milk
• 1 tablespoon margarine (preferably Country Crock, melted partially)
• 1 tablespoon margarine (for greasing the muffin tin)

Instructions

1. Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare your muffin tin by either greasing the cups with the remaining margarine or lining them with paper liners to prevent sticking.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and ground cinnamon. Stir them together until they are well mixed.

3. Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a separate, smaller bowl, beat the eggs with the milk and the partially melted margarine. For the margarine, ensure it’s melted only partially to prevent fat separation and to make sure you measure it accurately.

4. Combine Ingredients: Add the mashed bananas to the bowl of dry ingredients, mixing them gently to incorporate. Then pour the wet ingredients into this mixture. Stir just until everything is combined; the batter should remain lumpy. Avoid overmixing as this can lead to tough muffins.

5. Fill the Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. This ensures that the muffins have enough room to rise and develop a lovely dome shape.

6. Bake to Perfection: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.

7. Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
