Ingredients
  

  • 3 pieces ripe bananas About 1 ½ cups mashed.

  • Add the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar into the mashed bananas and mix until well combined.

  • In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently with a rubber spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ⅔ full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top of the muffins before baking.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze them for longer storage.
These muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can also be warmed up in the microwave for a few seconds before serving.
