- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 60 milliliters Whole milk

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners or lightly grease the tin.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Step 3
Add the granulated sugar and melted butter to the mashed bananas, then mix until well combined.
Step 4
Incorporate the eggs and vanilla extract into the banana mixture and whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
Step 7
Pour in the whole milk and fold until the batter is smooth. If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts or chocolate chips at this stage.
Step 8
Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean.
Step 10
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
