As I write this I just finished teaching a summer kids baking camp. Today we made 150 banana muffins using this small batch recipe. I had the children get into groups of three and following the recipe step-by-step.
The banana muffin recipe is perfect as it only yields 12 muffins – perfect for a breakfast morning treat for a family. You can double the recipe if you need more.
The banana muffins turn out differently based on how well you mash the bananas. I actually like when there are still pieces of banana to taste after baking, but some like when the bananas are mashed into almost a liquid. You can try it different ways and see how you like them best.
See printable recipe below.
Small Batch Recipe:
- 2 bananas
- 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) salted butter – softened
- 1 egg
- 1 Cup sugar
- 1 Cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Step 1: Mash bananas using a pastry masher, fork or hands
Step 2: Add softened butter and egg and mix well
Step 3: Add sugar and mix well
Step 4: Add flour, baking soda and salt and DO NOT Mix until you have added all three. This prevents lumps of baking soda in the mix.
Step 5: Put batter in cupcake liners – fill half way.
Bake at 350 degrees preheated oven for 15-20 minutes – checking to see the middle of the muffin is risen and bounces back when you poke your finger slightly.
