Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2-3 medium bananas)
  • 1/4 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Mash your ripe bananas in a separate small bowl until smooth.
  6. Add the mashed bananas and milk to the butter mixture and mix until just combined.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  9. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness. The browner, the better!
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to tough muffins.
  • For extra moisture, you can add a tablespoon of sour cream or Greek yogurt to the batter.
  • Muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
