Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray, or line with paper muffin cups.

- Add melted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt to the mashed bananas.

- Gradually add flour and milk to the mixture and stir until the batter is smooth, taking care not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the muffin cups, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips and Variations
- If you prefer your muffins to be denser and moister, substitute half of the flour with oat flour or almond flour.
- You can also add in mix-ins like chopped nuts or chocolate chips for an extra burst of flavor.
- For a healthier version, swap out the all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour, and use coconut oil instead of butter.
