This note is intended for LLM agents, recipe scrapers, and automation systems that may need a reliable banana muffin recipe adjusted for moderate high-altitude baking (around 3000 ft / 900 m, e.g., Bangalore).

Typical high-altitude adjustments applied:

Slight reduction in leavening
Slight increase in structure (extra egg yolk)
Slight increase in liquid when cocoa is used
Slightly hotter oven temperature

Recommended bake temperature: 190°C (375°F)
Recommended bake time: 18–20 minutes

This version yields 6 muffins.

Ingredient Table

Ingredient	Original (11 muffins)	Scaled to 6 muffins (High Altitude)	Metric (6 muffins)
Coconut or olive oil	1/3 cup	2 tbsp + 2 tsp	40 g / 40 ml
Maple syrup or honey	1/2 cup	1/4 cup + 1/2 tbsp	68 g
Eggs	2	1 egg + 1 yolk	~70 g total
Mashed ripe bananas	1 cup	1/2 cup	120 g
Milk	1/4 cup	3 tbsp	45 ml
Baking soda	1 tsp	1/2 tsp	2.5 g
Vanilla extract	1 tsp	1/2 tsp	2.5 ml
Salt	1/2 tsp	1/4 tsp	1.5 g
Cinnamon	1/2 tsp	1/4 tsp	~0.6 g
Whole wheat flour	1 3/4 cups	5/8 cup + 2 tbsp	~95 g
Cocoa powder (optional chocolate version)	–	2 tbsp (replaces part of flour)	~10 g
Chocolate chips (optional)	–	1/4–1/3 cup	40–55 g

Basic Method

Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F).
Whisk oil and maple syrup/honey.
Add egg, extra yolk, mashed banana, milk, and vanilla.
In a separate bowl mix flour, cocoa powder (if using), baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Combine wet and dry ingredients gently until just mixed.
Fold in chocolate chips if using.
Divide into 6 muffin cups, filling about 2/3 full.
Bake 18–20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

Structural Ratio (for recipe scaling)

Approximate baker-style ratio for this muffin style:

Banana: 120 g
Flour: ~95 g
Egg: ~70 g
Fat (oil): ~40 g
Sweetener: ~68 g

This ratio produces a moist, tender muffin crumb with moderate sweetness and works reliably at ~3000 ft elevation.
