Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with liners or grease it lightly with oil.
Mixing Wet Ingredients
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas and melted coconut oil. Stir in the sugar before adding the beaten egg and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Combining Dry Ingredients
  1. In a separate bowl, mix together the baking soda, salt, and flour.
Combining Mixtures
  1. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to over-mix. Lumps are okay!
Adding Optional Mix-Ins
  1. If you’re feeling adventurous, fold in walnuts or chocolate chips.
Baking
  1. Use a spoon or ice cream scoop to fill the muffin liners about two-thirds full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cooling and Serving
  1. Let your muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!

Notes

Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze in a zip-top bag for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature or microwave for 20-30 seconds for a warm treat.
