Light, tender banana muffins with a balanced leavening system and cold coconut oil for a moist crumb. Ripe bananas enhance flavor without compromising texture.
Ripe bananas (3, 5-6″), Coconut oil (1/3 cup / 75g, unsweetened), Granulated sugar (1/2 cup / 100g), Large egg (1, room temperature), Vanilla extract (1 tsp), Unbleached flour (1.5 cups / 188g), Baking powder (1 tsp), Baking soda (1 tsp)
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C)
Line a muffin tin with paper liners
Combine bananas and coconut oil in a bowl, blending until smooth
Whisk in sugar until fully incorporated

Divide batter evenly into prepared tin
Bake for 18 minutes or until edges pull away from the pan
