Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease thoroughly.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Stir in the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the banana mixture. Mix until smooth and creamy.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
Fold in the Greek yogurt or sour cream until fully incorporated. If using walnuts or chocolate chips, gently mix them into the batter.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
