Easy Banana Muffins

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour or maida - 1 1/2 cup
• Bananas - 3 whole
• Egg - 1 whole
• Sugar - 1 cup
• Baking soda - 1 tsp
• Salt - 1/2 tsp
• Vegetable oil - 1/3 cup
• Vanilla extract - 1 tsp

Instructions

1. 1Combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl and whisk until evenly mixed to create the dry base.
2. 2In a separate bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth, then stir in the egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until blended and uniform.
3. 3Add the banana mixture to the dry ingredients and stir just until moistened; stop mixing as soon as the batter comes together and a few small lumps remain to keep the muffins tender.
4. 4Grease or line muffin cups with paper liners and fill each cup half full with batter so the muffins rise evenly.
5. 5Bake at 375° for 18-22 minutes, until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean and the tops are set.
6. 6Cool the muffins in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely so they finish setting without becoming soggy.
7. 7Make a dozen muffins with this batter so you have enough for snacks and lunches.
8. 8Serve warm with a pat of butter or a smear of cream cheese, if you like.
