Ingredients

• 3 whole ripe bananas
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup maple syrup
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 whole large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Peel the bananas, place them in a large mixing bowl, and mash them with a fork or potato masher until smooth.

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar, maple syrup, and melted butter to the mashed bananas, stirring until well combined.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, ensuring everything is fully incorporated.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until evenly blended.

Step 6

Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet banana mixture by folding them in gently. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 7

If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts to add a crunchy texture to the muffins.

Step 8

Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 9

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

Step 10

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