COOK TIME: about 22-25 minutes
TOTAL TIME: about 35 minutes
INGREDIENTS
3 ripe bananas
1/3 cup melted butter (salted or unsalted)*
1/2 cup cane sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup elderberry powder or elderberry preserve
About 1/2 cup cold water*
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease your desired muffin pan and set aside.
Mix bananas, butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla together in a large bowl until smooth.If you’re using elderberry preserve, add it in this step. If using powder, see next step.
Add flour, baking powder, and elderberry powder to the wet mixture bowl. Mix thoroughly. The batter should be thick.
Add small amounts of cold water to the mixture at a time, with the goal of loosening the batter. Once it has loosened enough to your judgement, stop adding water.
Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter each into the muffin pan cups. Bake at 350 degrees for about 22-25 minutes. When finished, let cool for about 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling. Enjoy!
NOTES
we recommend using organic ingredients for best results
while butter yields the moistest results, you can substitute butter for coconut oil or olive oil and it will still turn out good
