Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 pinch salt
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions

- In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
- Stir in the melted butter, baking soda, salt, sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Fold in the flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

- You can add nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for extra flavor.
- Do not overmix the batter; this can lead to tough muffins.
