1. Preheat oven to 350F.

2. Line the cupcake tin with cooking spray or cupcake liners.

3. In a large bowl, use a fork to mash the bananas.

4. Add sugar + eggs until just combined.

5. Add the oil until mixed.

6. Add all the dry ingredients.

7. Mix thoroughly, making sure you get any flour at the bottom of the bowl.

8. Fill each cupcake tin to the top with batter.

Recipe Notes:

• Don't be afraid to use brown bananas. This is actually a good go-to recipe when you don't have a use for over ripen bananas.

• For an optional topping, sprinkle some walnut pieces + brown sugar on top of each muffin before putting it in the oven.
