1/3 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
3/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
1 large egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Stir in the melted butter, then mix in the baking soda and salt.
Combine Sugar and Egg: Add the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract to the banana mixture and mix well.
