Step-by-Step Instructions for Moist Brown Sugar Banana Muffins
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin pan by lining it with muffin liners or greasing each cup.
  2. Mash 2-3 ripe bananas in a bowl until mostly smooth but still chunky.
  3. Combine mashed bananas with brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk; mix until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  5. Gently fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Spoon the batter into muffin cups about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Cool muffins in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
