Instructions

Mix dry ingredients

Preheat the oven to 170°C (325°F) Gas 3. Place the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon powder into a large bowl and whisk with an electric mixer until well combined.

Mix wet ingredients

Combine the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract in a measuring cup and mix well. Slowly pour into the flour mixture and beat on low speed until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Add butter and banana

Pour in the melted butter and beat until incorporated. Fold in the banana with a wooden spoon until evenly distributed.

Bake

Scoop the mixture into paper cups until two-thirds full, and sprinkle a small amount of sugar and cinnamon powder on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes until golden brown and the cake springs back. A toothpick inserted should come out clean. Let the muffins cool slightly in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
