Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2-3 medium bananas)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, and black pepper.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Add the mashed bananas and mix until well combined.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk.
  7. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  8. If using, gently fold in the chopped nuts.
  9. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  10. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  11. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure your bananas are very ripe for the best flavor and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter; this can lead to tough muffins.
  • These muffins are delicious served warm or at room temperature.
