Banana Persimmon Cinnamon Muffins

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Banana Persimmon Cinnamon Muffins.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) and prepare six muffin cups with cheerful paper liners.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, take those ripe bananas and a Hachiya persimmon, and mash them together until they create a smooth, fruity blend.

3. Step 3

   Next, add in 3/4 cup of sugar, some melted coconut oil, a fresh egg, and a splash of vanilla extract.

4. Step 4

   Mix everything together well after each addition, letting those flavors meld beautifully.

5. Step 5

   In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

6. Step 6

   Now, gently fold this dry mixture into your banana blend using a spoon, stirring just until everything is combined—remember, we want to keep it light and fluffy, so avoid overmixing! Once your batter is ready, spoon it into the lined muffin cups, filling each one about three-quarters full for that perfect rise.

7. Step 7

   For a delightful finishing touch, mix 1 tablespoon of sugar with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon in a small bowl, then generously sprinkle this sweet mixture over the muffin batter.

8. Step 8

   Pop your muffins into the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 23 minutes.
