How to Make Banana Cardamom Muffins

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease and flour the tin.
2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter and 3/4 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Mash 2 ripe bananas with a fork and add them to the bowl along with 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup buttermilk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix well until combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full. Bake for 19-21 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
