Ingredients

• 3 ripe bananas
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (melted)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup milk
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the melted butter and mix well to combine with the bananas.

Step 4

Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using).

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 7

If using chopped walnuts or chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter.

Step 8

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters 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

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

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
