Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or lightly grease the cups with butter or cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs to the butter-sugar mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the mashed bananas, milk, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
