Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the vanilla glaze:
- 1 cup confectioners sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Prepare a 12-count muffin tin by spraying with baking spray.
- In a medium-sized bowl, add flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, allspice, and black pepper. Set aside.
- In a larger mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar using a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, mashed banana and vanilla then mix to combine well.
- Slowly add in flour mixture until well blended. Divide batter evenly into the muffin tin. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Make vanilla glaze by whisking confectioners sugar, vanilla and milk until smooth. Add more milk to reach desired consistency if needed.
- Once muffins are mostly cooled, dip tops into the vanilla glaze then set on parchment paper or a rack to let glaze set. Feel free to double dip them!
