Makes 16 muffins
Ingredients
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- ⅔ cup canola oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cup ripened banana mashed
- ½ cup sourdough discard
- 1 ¾ cup flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Add the sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla, and banana to a mixing bowl and whisk together until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add the sourdough discard and stir until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients. You'll need the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon. Once those are combined, add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Use a spatula to gently fold them together until incorporated. Do not over mix.
- Set the batter aside to rest for 10 minutes.
- Add muffin liners to your muffin pan OR spray each muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Use a measuring cup or scoop to evenly fill the muffin tins ¾ full.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until the muffins are light brown and fully cooked. You can insert a toothpick in the center of one to see if it comes out clean. If it comes out clean or with crumbs, your muffins are done.
- Let the muffins rest in the pan for 15 minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool.
Farm Girl Tips
You'll need 3 ripened bananas for this recipe.
Ovens usually have hot spots. You may want to rotate the pans halfway through baking.
Storage: Store at room temperature for 3-4 days. You can put them in a ziplock bag or airtight container.
To freeze muffins, let them cool completely, then place in an airtight container or gallon sized freezer bag. Freeze for up to three months.
These are tasty with a little (or big) dab of butter!
