Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a mini muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or a potato masher until smooth.
Add the melted butter to the mashed bananas and stir until well combined.
Mix in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a small cookie scoop or a spoon, fill each mini muffin cup about 3/4 full with the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the nut-free mini banana muffins warm or store them in an airtight container for up to three days.
