Note: bananas that are very ripe are best for this. More ripe = more sweet. If you're on a time crunch and you can't wait a week for your bananas to turn brown, you can speed up the process by putting a couple of whole bananas in a bag with some apple slices and sealing it up overnight. By the next morning, your bananas will be browning and sweet!

Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake wrappers. Fill each cup all the way to the top with your mixture. This will give you puffy muffintops. On your muffins. Not your pants.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes. Check them at the 20-minute mark-if you can stick a toothpick in and it comes out clean, they're done! If not, keep baking!
