2. Add the remaining ingredients and mix until combined.
3. Transfer the mixture to prepared muffin tray.
4. Bake until golden and cooked through when tested with a skewer.
My Tips for Making the BEST Banana Muffins:
- You will need 120 grams of banana for this recipe – this is approximately 1 medium banana. If you use more banana, the muffins will sink and be soft in the middle.
- It’s really important to use bananas which are very soft and have started to brown, this is what helps to give them their flavour and also if you use bananas which are still a little firm, they won’t break down when mixing in your Thermomix.
- I also like to often use a mini muffin tin to make these and I get around 48 mini Banana Muffins from the mixture which is perfect for birthday parties or other events.
- These easy Thermomix Banana Muffins are also freezer friendly, which I love as I can always have them on hand for when those sweet cravings hit!
