5 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
¼ cup packed brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 12-count muffin pan with muffin liners, then lightly spray the pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Add 1 cup mashed bananas, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 5 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, ¼ cup packed brown sugar, and ½ cup granulated sugar to a large bowl, and whisk until combined.
