Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with muffin liners.
In a large bowl, mash the overripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop. Let it cool slightly, then add it to the bananas.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the banana mixture. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in the whole milk until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each 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.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your nut-free banana muffins!
