Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).

If bananas are not ripe enough, bake them on a baking sheet at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until blackened.

In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Whisk together and set aside.

Melt 1/2 cup of butter in the microwave, covering it with paper to prevent explosions.

Once bananas are baked and soft, mash them in a bowl until desired consistency is reached, aiming for 1 1/2 cups of mashed banana.

Add the melted butter, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon to the mashed bananas and mix until combined, leaving some lumps if desired.

Combine the wet mixture with the dry ingredients, folding gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.

Fill muffin papers in a muffin tin almost full, using a scoop for ease. Optionally, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar on top.

Bake in the preheated oven at 425°F for 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the centers spring back when touched lightly.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before peeling off the paper.
