Can you say Oh. My. Browned. Butter. Banana. Goodness! It has been a long, long time since I have made muffins. It has also been a long time since I've used browned butter for anything other than frying a little sage and hitting it with some raviolis. The nutty smell of the butter browning on the stove, muffins chock full of banana, some self rising flour, an egg and some rum extract. Simple. Easy. Delicious. Go make some now!
This is also sweetened with only maple syrup. The original recipe calls for agave or honey, but I always have an abundance of maple syrup in my pantry. I love how healthy this is as well as how easy it is to put together. Make some for your mom tomorrow, I'm sure she will love them!

Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas
- ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon rum extract
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
- 1-¾ cup self rising flour
Instructions

- Line 12 cup muffin pan with paper liners.Peel bananas and place in large bowl with maple syrup and rum extract. Mash until bananas are liquidy but still slightly chunky.
- Place the butter in a heavy saucepan and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Pay close attention to the butter or it will easily burn on you.
- Add about 1 cup of the banana mixture to the browned butter. Simmer a another minute or so until a darker color is achieved. Be very careful when adding the banana mixture to the butter as it will bubble and spatter.
- Add butter/banana mixture to the remaining banana mixture in bowl. Whisk in egg. Fold in flour until just combined. Do not overmix.
- With a large ice cream scoop, evenly divide batter between 12 muffin cups. Bake for approximately 25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean when inserted into center of muffin.

The brown butter is the lure here. I love banana muffins at the best of times.

Wow…this sound so good. I love muffin, but hardly bake them myself. I always think that baking is not easy and the outcomes always make me depress. This recipe seem simple, I like it. 🙂

Happy Mother's Day, Shelby! And yum to the muffins. Banana is my favorite and I actually have some self-rising flour to use.
