Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Peel and mash the bananas.
Crack and beat an egg in a separate bowl.
Add the beaten egg, vanilla, and oil to the mashed bananas.
Add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gently mix the dry and wet ingredients together. Stop mixing as soon as the ingredients are incorporated to prevent overmixing.
Scoop the batter into a lined muffin tin. You can use an ice cream scoop for this to make sure the batter is evenly dispensed. If you don't have an ice cream scoop, just eyeball it, or measure out a 1/4 cup of batter per regular-sized muffin cup.
Top muffins with sprinkles or turbinado sugar and chocolate chips.
Put the muffins on a rack centered in the oven at 375 degrees for about 18 minutes.
After 18 minutes, stick a toothpick in one of the muffins. If it comes out clean, that means they're done! If not, leave the muffins in the oven for another 2 minutes and then check again.
