Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized ripe bananas
- 2 large eggs

- Fold in self-rising flour. Stir gently until just combined — do not overmix.
- Spoon batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each about ¾ full.

Notes
To make self-rising flour: combine 1 cup all-purpose flour with 1½ tsp baking powder and ¼ tsp salt.
Optional add-ins: cinnamon, vanilla extract, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts.
Vegan tip: Replace eggs with flax eggs (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water per egg).
Ripen bananas quickly by baking them (peels on) at 300°F (150°C) for 15 minutes.
