- 2 large eggs

Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with nonstick spray.

- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mash bananas and mix in sugars, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
- Combine: Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Scoop the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.

Notes
- Sweeter Muffins: Overripe bananas provide the best natural sweetness.
- Moist Texture: Do not overmix the batter, or muffins may turn dense.
- Dairy-Free: Swap butter for coconut oil and use almond milk.
