Fluffy Banana Bread Muffins

What is the secret to my fluffy muffins you ask? It is with some reluctance that I share my baking secrets...but this blog is all about sharing so I will have to give it up. When I crack my eggs I separate them and I mix my yolks in with the wet ingredients, but with the whites I whip them up to stiff peak and gently fold them in at the end.

Fluffy Banana Muffins:

Step one: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. In a medium mixing bowl measure your dry ingredients and then set aside.

2 cups of all purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp kosher salt

1 tsp cinnamon

Step two: Wet ingredients

1 cup granulated sugar

1 stick of room temperature butter

3 ripe bananas

1 tsp vanilla

2 eggs separated : yolks in one bowl and whites in an another small mixing bowl and whip until at a stiff peak and set aside.

Step three: Method

In your stand mixer cream butter and sugar until fluffy to this; add your egg yolks, bananas and vanilla and mix until combined. In stages of threes by hand alternately fold in flour and egg whites (Be gentle when folding in whites because volume = fluffy muffins) ending with the whites. Scoop out batter into prepared muffin tins and top with a little brown sugar and a drizzle of maple syrup. You can also mix chocolate chips or walnuts into batter. Bake for about 20 minutes until done.
