Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a muffin tin with paper liners.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
3
In another bowl, mash the bananas with a fork, then add the sugar, eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla sugar. Whisk until smooth.
4
Incorporate the chestnut purée into the banana mixture until fully combined.
5
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, gently mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6
Evenly distribute the batter into the muffin liners, filling them about three-quarters full.
7
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and the tops spring back lightly when touched.
8
Check for doneness with a toothpick: if it comes out clean when inserted into the center of a muffin, they are ready.
9
Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10
Serve fresh, or store in an airtight container to maintain their softness.
