How to Make Amy's Extra Special Banana Muffins

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) softened butter, 2 large eggs, and 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add 1/2 cup (120ml) milk and 3 ripe mashed bananas (about 1 1/2 cups mashed), mixing thoroughly until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fill muffin cups about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Baking time may vary depending on your oven; start checking at 20 minutes.
Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
