How to Make Banana Date Muffins

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease and flour the tin.
2. In a medium bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until mostly smooth.
3. Add the oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
5. Stir in the chopped dates until evenly distributed.
6. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
7. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
