  • 1 6-tin regular muffin pan

  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 nut chopper if nuts are not previously chopped

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour bleached flour toughens baked goods
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 3-4 large ripe bananas mashed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter 1 stick
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Don’t overmix the batter.
  • Spray 13 muffin tins with cooking spray.
  • Spoon batter evenly into each muffin tin.
  • Sprinkle additional cinnamon chips over top of batter.
  • (I added 10-15 cinnamon chips on top of each muffin).

  • Adjust temperature to 350°.
  • Continue baking an additional 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Cool.

Notes

NOTE: The secret to having muffins that raise perfectly every time is to start the baking at a high temperature (425°), and then lower the temperature to 350° after 5 minutes. This allows the muffins to raise properly. If you bake muffins at a steady 350° for the whole length of baking time, they will usually be flat on top.
