Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 113 grams unsalted butter
• 150 grams granulated sugar
• 50 grams brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 100 grams optional mix-ins (such as chocolate chips or chopped nuts)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.

Step 2

Peel the ripe bananas and mash them in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter, then pour it into the mashed bananas. Mix well.

Step 4

Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and pure vanilla extract to the banana mixture. Whisk until fully combined.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon. Do not overmix; stir just until combined.

Step 7

Add the milk to the batter to loosen it slightly, then fold in optional mix-ins like chocolate chips or chopped nuts, if desired.

Step 8

Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftover muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
