Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.

3. Add sugar, brown sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir just until combined—don’t overmix.

6. Scoop the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

7. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Let cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

• Use very ripe bananas with lots of brown spots for the best flavor and sweetness.

• You can add chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or blueberries for variation.

• Muffins freeze well—just pop them in a freezer bag and thaw as needed.
