Chai Banana Bread Muffins
Ingredients
-
1/2 tsp. sea salt
-
2 tsp. baking powder
-
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
-
3 medium bananas, ripe
-
1 bag chai tea (or 1 teaspoon chai spice)
-
1 tsp. vanilla extract
-
1/4 cup whole milk
-
2 large eggs
-
1 cup unbleached pure cane sugar
-
1/2 cup salted butter (or coconut oil)
Method
-
01Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a muffin pan with paper or silicone liners, or grease with oil.
-
02Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Pour the sugar into a large bowl. Pour the melted butter into the bowl with sugar and stir to combine. Add the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and the contents of the chai tea bag. Whisk to combine.
-
03Peel the bananas and, in a small bowl, mash them with a fork or potato masher. Add them to the other wet ingredients and stir to combine.
-
04In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined. Try not to oversteer, as this will result in the dense, chewy muffin.
-
05Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin and fill each muffin cup ⅔ of the way.
-
06Place the pan in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Place the muffins on a cooling rack to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
