Ingredients

Muffins

  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 2/3 cup mashed very ripe bananas (2 small)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 2/3 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Topping

  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 375°F. Grease bottoms only of 12 regular-size muffin cups with shortening or spray, or line with paper baking cups.
  • 2
    In medium bowl, beat 2/3 cup sugar, the oil and eggs with wire whisk. Stir in bananas and vanilla. Stir in remaining muffin ingredients just until moistened. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups.
  • 3
    Bake 17 to 21 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Immediately remove from pan to cooling rack.
  • 4
    In small bowl, mix 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Dip muffin tops into melted butter, then into cinnamon-sugar. Serve warm.

  • For these Banana-Cinnamon Muffins, stash super-ripe bananas in the freezer—be sure to peel them first, halve them, then put them in a plastic freezer bag or ridged-sided container. Bananas thaw quickly to easily mash up for quick muffins, bread or smoothies.
  • Really up the cinnamon quotient and increase cinnamon to 1 teaspoon in the cinnamon-banana muffins batter.
  • Try adding 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg or ginger to the sugar-cinnamon mixture before dipping the banana-cinnamon muffin tops for a new flavor twist.
