How to Make Banana Cinnamon Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Mash 3 ripe bananas in a large bowl until mostly smooth; a few small lumps are okay.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs until light and frothy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon ground sea salt.
  5. Add the whisked eggs to the mashed bananas and mix well.
  6. Stir in ⅓ cup melted unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the banana mixture.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
