The Best Bananas for Baking

It might surprise you, but brown or black bananas make the best baking bananas. Spotty bananas are suitable, but the darker the banana, the better. Just avoid bananas that have started to grow mold or are oozing.

How to Use Fresher Bananas

In the absence of overripe bananas, you can use yellow bananas by softening them first to add extra flavor and moisture. To make them tender and easy to crush with a fork, slice the bananas, place them in a microwave-safe bowl, and cook on high for 30 seconds at a time.

Step By Step Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C. Then either grease a muffin pan with baking spray or line it with muffin liners. Add the bananas to a bowl with the warm, melted butter and mash using a fork or potato masher. Add the oil, buttermilk, beaten eggs, and vanilla to a separate bowl or jug. Mix well to combine, and then stir it into the banana mixture. In another large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix them together with a spoon until just combined and there is no more visible flour. The mixture should be quite thick. Divide batter between the 12 muffin sections in the pan. For the crumb topping, mix flour, sugar, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl until it’s well combined. Then, using a pastry cutter or food processor, work the butter into the mixture until it comes together into clumps. Crumble the topping evenly onto the batter in the muffin pan. Bake for around bake for 20-25 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean. Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool for five minutes before removing them from the pan. These muffins can be served warm or cooled at room temperature.
