Method
-
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
- Prepare the Banana Muffins:
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, melted butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, alternating with buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake the Muffins:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes. Then, transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the Maple Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and 1 tablespoon of milk until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Glaze the Muffins:
- Once the muffins are completely cooled, drizzle the maple glaze over the top of each muffin.
- Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Enjoy your delicious Maple Glazed Banana Muffins with a cup of tea or coffee, savoring the delightful combination of banana sweetness and maple goodness.
