How to make banana bread muffins

First, preheat your oven to 375 degrees.

Line a muffin tin with muffin liners. My favorite liners to use are parchment paper muffin liners, as nothing will stick to them at all. No need to spray them or anything!

Step 1: Add the melted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and mashed bananas to a large bowl. Stir or whisk well to combine.

Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon.

Step 3: Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until just combined. Be careful not to over mix the batter as this will result in dense muffins.
