Every time I have brown bananas laying around the house I make these amazing muffins! They are so easy to make and absolutely delicious!

Ingredients:

• 3 large ripe bananas
• ⅓ cup neutral oil (coconut, grapeseed, vegetable, etc)
• ½ cup maple syrup
• 1 egg, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
• ½ teaspoon salt
• A pinch of cloves
• A pinch of ground ginger
• 1 cup Chocolate chips (optional)

Preparation:

• Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
• Whisk together all the dry ingredients, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, cloves, and ginger in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
• In a larger bowl, mash bananas with a fork until fairly smooth.
• Add oil, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla to the mashed bananas and mix well.
• Add dry ingredients to the banana mixture and mix until fully combined. Be careful to not overmix.
• At this point, fold in chocolate chips, if adding.
• With an ice cream scoop or spoon, scoop the batter evenly into the muffin tin (greased or lined with muffin liners). You should have 12 muffins.
• Bake at 450°F (232°C) for 5 minutes and immediately put down the temperature to 350°F (176°C).
• Bake at 350°F (176°C) for 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
• Let muffins cool for 5–10 minutes.
• Enjoy!
