Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a mini muffin tin with 32 mini muffin liners or lightly grease to prepare the muffin tin.
Measure the butter, then place in a medium sized microwave-safe bowl and heat until melted. Whisk in the eggs, vanilla, and milk. Whisk in both sugars.
Mash the bananas using a fork, then measure out 1 cup of mashed bananas and add to the bowl.
Pour in the flour, salt, and baking soda, then whisk. Stir in the mini chocolate chips if using.
Pour the batter into the muffin liners, filling 3/4 of the way full, and bake in preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let muffins cool for 5-10 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack or enjoy warm!
