- Cream the softened unsalted butter and brown sugar in another bowl until it becomes light and fluffy.
- Mash the overripe bananas and add them to the butter mixture. Stir until mostly smooth with a few lumps.
- Whisk in the egg, vanilla, and milk until everything is well combined.
- Fold in the dry ingredients gently, mixing until just combined.
- Scoop the batter into the muffin pan, filling each liner about ⅔ full.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
