Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup milk
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the melted butter to the mashed bananas and stir until well combined.

Step 4

Mix in the granulated sugar and brown sugar, ensuring that they are evenly integrated with the banana mixture.

Step 5

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring that each is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Step 6

Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 7

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 8

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 9

Stir in the milk until the batter is smooth.

Step 10

If using, gently fold in the chopped walnuts.

Step 11

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 14

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
