These Tropical Banana Rum Muffins bring a delightful twist to your morning routine with their rich banana flavor and a hint of rum.
Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a muffin tin with liners.
Using muffin liners makes cleanup easier and ensures the muffins release easily.
In a large bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour, ground nutmeg, and granulated sugar.
Sifting the dry ingredients can help avoid lumps and ensure even mixing.
In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas and mix in the melted butter, dark rum, whole milk, fresh lime juice, and grated lime zest.
Ensure the butter is slightly cooled before mixing to prevent curdling.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender and fluffy.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin.
Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Rotate the muffin tin halfway through baking for even cooking.
Allow the muffins to cool slightly on a cooling rack before dusting with powdered sugar.
Dust the powdered sugar just before serving for the best presentation.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
Pair with a tropical fruit salad or a refreshing drink for a complete treat.
