Dianne's Gingerbread Banana Muffins
"I'm always making banana muffins and came up with this recipe for a little something different. Lightly sweetened with molasses and full of warming spices, they are especially delicious in the winter, but we enjoy these any time of the year."

- Yields:
-
12 muffins
- Serves:
- 12
ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 cup mashed banana (about 2 large)
- 1⁄3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1⁄3 cup granulated sugar
- 1⁄4 cup molasses
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon coarse-grain sugar (optional)
directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a standard 12-count muffin tin with paper liners or coat with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, ginger, baking soda, salt and cloves. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, mash the bananas and combine with the melted butter, sugar and molasses; beat in the egg.
- Add the flour mixture to the banana mixture and stir gently, just until it is incorporated. Do not over-stir; batter will be lumpy. Fill prepared muffins cups 2/3 full with batter. Sprinkle evenly with the coarse-grain sugar, if desired (optional).
- Bake 20 minutes, or until tops spring back when lightly touched.
- Cool in pan 10 minutes; remove to wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
