Ingredients
  

Muffin Batter
  • 2 to 3 pieces ripe bananas, mashed The sweeter, the better!
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sugar You can reduce this for a less sweet version.

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour Fold into the mixture until just combined.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin pan or line it with muffin liners.
  2. In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth—don’t worry if there are a few lumps.
  3. Mix in the melted butter until well-combined.
  4. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the banana mixture, then mix in the sugar, vanilla extract, beaten egg, and ground cinnamon.
  5. Gradually fold in the all-purpose flour until just combined.
  6. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling them about two-thirds full.
Baking
  1. Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Remove the muffins from the oven, let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Serving
  1. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

They can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, wrap each muffin in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months.
