Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1/3 cup melted coconut oil

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking soda

Pinch of salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas and melted coconut oil. Mix until well combined.

      Add the brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract to the banana mixture and stir until smooth.

        Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture, and then add the ground cinnamon. Mix well to incorporate all the dry elements.

          Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix — a few lumps are okay.

            If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.

              Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each one about 2/3 full.

                Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                  Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
