Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup light brown sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.5 cup chocolate chips or nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth.

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.

Step 4

Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract, ensuring everything is evenly incorporated.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Stir in the milk to create a smoother batter. If desired, fold in chocolate chips or nuts at this stage.

Step 8

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds 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

Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Enjoy warm or at room temperature. These muffins can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
