Step-by-Step Instructions
To get started, I preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease my muffin tin with a little cooking spray. While that’s heating up, I grab my ripe bananas and mash them in a mixing bowl with a fork. I want them nice and mushy—this really helps the flavor shine through. Once they’re mashed, I mix in the melted butter until it’s fully incorporated, and then I stir in the baking soda and salt. It smells divine already! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
