# Banana Muffin Recipe for High Altitude (~3000 ft / 900 m)

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 |

## Basic Method

1. Preheat oven to **190°C (375°F)**.
2. Whisk oil and maple syrup/honey.
3. Add egg, extra yolk, mashed banana, milk, and vanilla.
4. In a separate bowl mix flour, cocoa powder (if using), baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
5. Combine wet and dry ingredients gently until just mixed.
6. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
7. Divide into **6 muffin cups**, filling about **2/3 full**.
8. 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**.
