Please remember to bake responsibly and consume these muffins in moderation. Also, be sure to keep them away from little hands as they contain alcohol.

1

Preheat your oven

The first step to baking these tantalizing Banana Berry Bacardi muffins is to preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your muffins bake evenly and achieve the perfect golden-brown color.

2

Prepare the dry ingredients

In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt. This combination of ingredients will give your muffins a light and fluffy texture.

3

Mash those bananas

In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas using a fork. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be. Plus, it's a great way to use up those overripe bananas!

4

Mix in the wet ingredients

To the mashed bananas, add 1/2 cup of melted butter, 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1/4 cup of Bacardi rum. Give the mixture a good stir until everything is well combined. Don't worry about the alcohol, it'll bake off and leave behind a lovely hint of flavor.

5

Combine dry and wet ingredients

Now it's time to bring the dry and wet ingredients together. Pour the banana mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently fold everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough muffins.

6

Add the berries

This step is where the berrylicious goodness comes in! Fold in 1 cup of fresh berries of your choice. Raspberries, blueberries, or a combination of both work wonderfully in these muffins. The burst of fruity flavors will have your taste buds doing a happy dance!

7

Fill the muffin cups

Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with butter. Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with the batter. This will give your muffins room to rise beautifully in the oven.

8

Bake to perfection

Pop the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. The aroma of freshly baked muffins will fill your kitchen, making it even harder to wait for them to cool!

9

Cool and enjoy

Once the muffins are baked to perfection, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, it's time to indulge in these delightful Banana Berry Bacardi muffins. Take a bite, savor the combination of flavors, and enjoy!
