• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup milk

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and whisk together until the mixture is smooth.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Stir in the milk until the batter reaches a smooth consistency.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Sprinkle the optional oats evenly over the tops of the muffins for added texture.

Step 9

Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

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

Step 11

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