Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Servings 6 muffins

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour, sifted
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 medium ripe banana, mashed
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 egg, lightly whisked
  • 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter
  • Twinkies as needed or approximately 4 Twinkies for each muffin
  • sprinkles as needed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a muffin tin with 6 paper liners and set aside.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together into a bowl. In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix the mashed banana, sugar, egg, and melted butter together until well combined on medium speed.
  • Add the flour to the mixer in two additions. Give the batter a good stir with spatula to make sure it's well incorporated.
  • Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin. Bake for 15-20 minutes until it's golden brown and a skewer comes out clean when inserted in the center. Let it cool completely before frosting.
  • Split the twinkles in half lengthwise. Scoop out the cream and layer it onto the muffins. Top with sprinkles and a blue candle.

Notes

  • This recipe is modified to only make 6 muffins.  If you want 12, simply double the recipe.
  • The recipe calls for 1/2 an egg.  The easiest way to measure this is to creak the egg into a bowl and whisk it slightly. Take half and use it in the recipe.
  • It took the cream of about 4 Twinkies to cover one muffin.
