- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix the mashed bananas, granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix!
- If using chocolate chips or nuts, gently fold them into the batter.

Cool and Serve muffins:

Serving Tip 💡:
These banana muffins are delicious on their own, but for an extra treat, spread some cream cheese or peanut butter on top. Pair them with a glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee for the perfect snack or breakfast. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon for a cozy touch!
