Ingredients
  

3 ripe bananas, mashed

1/3 cup melted butter

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1 large egg, beaten

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking soda

Pinch of salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

    Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas and melted butter. Stir until well blended.

      Incorporate Ingredients: Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract to the banana mixture. Mix until smooth and combined.

        Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and all-purpose flour. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are some lumps.

          Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

            Fill the Muffin Tins: Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

              Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

                Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy while warm or store in an airtight container for later.
