Ingredients
  

For the Muffins
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Can substitute with brown sugar for deeper flavor.
  • 1/3 cup Vegetable or Canola Oil Melted coconut oil or butter makes a lovely swap.
  • 2 large Eggs Consider flaxseed meal mixed with water as an egg substitute.
  • 2/3 cup Mashed Ripe Banana Use very ripe bananas for optimal sweetness.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Can be omitted if desired without losing much.
  • 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour Try whole wheat flour for a different twist.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda Always check freshness for the best rise.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Substitute with apple pie spice for a unique touch.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Feel free to reduce it slightly if you're watching your salt intake.

  • 1/4 cup Cinnamon Sugar Mixture Adjust to taste for coating.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin pan by greasing it or lining it with muffin liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs until smooth, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Add the mashed ripe bananas and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt, then gradually add to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling them nearly to the top.
  6. Bake for 16 to 21 minutes until muffins spring back when pressed and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Allow muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  8. Dip the tops of each muffin into melted butter, then into cinnamon sugar for coating.
