Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar (adjust according to taste)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup ripe bananas mashed (about 2-3 bananas)
- 1/2 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin pan with liners or grease it lightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to combine all the dry ingredients.
- In another bowl, mix the mashed bananas, milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until all the wet ingredients are blended smoothly.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
- Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full with the batter. This will allow them to rise beautifully as they bake.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
