• Egg: An egg binds the muffin batter together and lends moisture.

• Fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture.
• Spoon the batter into prepared muffin tins. Bake the muffins in the preheated oven.

How Long to Bake Banana Muffins

In an oven preheated to 350 degrees F, a dozen banana muffins should be fully baked in 25 to 30 minutes. You'll know they're done when the top springs back when lightly pressed.

If you make mini muffins, decrease the baking time to 10 to 15 minutes.
