Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or grease the muffin cups lightly.
Peel the ripe bananas and place them in a large mixing bowl. Mash them thoroughly with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
Add the Miracle Whip, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined and smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture. Stir until just combined; do not overmix. If desired, gently fold in the chopped walnuts.
Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these moist and flavorful Banana Miracle Whip Muffins fresh or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
