  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) softened unsalted butter and 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, then mash in 3 ripe bananas (about 1 1/2 cups mashed).
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt (or substitute with sodium ascorbate according to package directions).
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  7. Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full.
