– Whisk

Step-by-Step Instructions
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your muffin tin by lining it with mini muffin liners or greasing it with non-stick spray. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. I love using a fork for this! Once mashed, stir in the melted butter until it’s combined nicely. Then, add the brown sugar and granulated sugar, mixing until well combined. Incorporating the eggs is next—whisk them in, along with the vanilla extract, until the mixture is beautifully blended. The sweet aroma fills my kitchen at this point! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
