Are you a coffee mum too?!
Haha! I love coffee, and especially more after becoming a mum! *yawns*
Today I am sharing a coffee banana muffin recipe after some tweaking, as I got nerd out and was studying baking ratios 🙂

By the way so sorry for the poor photo quality, because I couldn’t find my camera’s battery charger! (Hahah!!)
As we know, for muffins, there are mainly 2 types of methods: creaming or mixing. I prefer mixing, whereby the melted butter or oil is being mixed in directly with other wet ingredients. Though I do love buttery scent in muffins, it can be confused with cupcakes, which would have this signature buttery, fine crumbs.
I also find the mixing method makes a lighter muffin for my toddler. Of coz, she cannot eat this coffee muffin, la 😉
I love a more subtle banana flavour in muffins, so I thinned the puree bananas with some milk. You can increase the banana puree and omit milk if you prefer a full banana flavor. Also, I swapped out some melted butter with oil for a moister muffin the next day.

This is not a sweet muffin recipe, so you don’t need to reduce the sugar anymore 🙂
Of course, feel free to omit/swap out the add-ins (chocolate chips and walnuts). I am imagining peanut butter or caramel chips should go pretty well with this flavor too!
- 200 g plain flour
- 60 g caster sugar
- 40 g brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 80 g melted butter room temperature
- 20 g oil
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 190 g bananas mashed
- 50 g milk room temperature
- 24 g instant coffee NOT 2-in-1 or 3-in-1
- 90 g hot water
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 60 g semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 20 g chopped walnuts
-
Preheat oven to 220C. Place liners into muffin pans, or grease and flour well.
-
Place the flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a mixing bowl. Whisk to combine well.
-
Place other remaining wet ingredients (except add-ins) into another mixing bowl and whisk well.
-
Make a well in the dry ingredients from (2). Add the wet ingredients. Mix with a spatula till there are no traces of white flour. Take care not to over-mix. Add in chocolate chips and mix briefly.
-
Spoon batter into liners to about 90% full. Sprinkle chopped walnuts on top.
-
Bake in the preheated oven at 220C for about 4 mins. Turn down the oven temperature to 200C and bake for 12-14 mins, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. (There may be melted chocolate staining the skewer, so take note)
-
Cool completely on wire rack before storing in air tight container. These muffins taste better the next day.
- You can use 280g mashed bananas instead, and omit milk.
- If you find it a hassle to add oil, simply use 100g melted butter.
