3 large Ripe bananas The star of the show! Ripe bananas add natural sweetness and moisture.
1/3 cup Melted butter This gives the muffins a rich flavor and tender texture.
1 teaspoon Baking soda This helps the muffins rise and become fluffy.
1 pinch Salt A little salt enhances the sweetness of the bananas.
3/4 cup Granulated sugar This adds sweetness, but feel free to adjust based on your taste.
1 large Egg, beaten The egg binds the ingredients together and adds moisture.
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract This adds a lovely aroma and flavor to the muffins.
1 cup All-purpose flour The base of the muffins, providing structure.

Gather all your ingredients: ripe bananas, melted butter, baking soda, salt, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and all-purpose flour.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing it.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas with the melted butter. Stir until well blended. Add baking soda and a pinch of salt, mixing thoroughly.
Stir in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until combined. It's okay if the batter has a few lumps.
Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with the batter. Optionally, sprinkle chocolate chips or nuts on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Banana muffins are a versatile treat that can be customized with nuts, chocolate chips, or spices.
