Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup milk or buttermilk
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
3. In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and brown sugar until smooth.
4. Add mashed bananas, egg, vanilla extract, and milk, mixing until combined.
5. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients just until incorporated.
6. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
7. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool muffins in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For extra texture, add chopped walnuts or chocolate chips to the batter.
Sprinkle tops with coarse sugar before baking for a bakery-style finish.
Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
