Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly with butter or cooking spray.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Melt the unsalted butter and let it cool slightly. Add the melted butter and brown sugar to the mashed bananas and stir until well combined.
Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in two additions, alternating with the milk. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix to ensure light and fluffy muffins.
In a small bowl, mix the sesame seeds with the honey and granulated sugar until they are evenly coated.
Divide the muffin batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each 2/3 full.
Spoon a small amount of the sesame seed mixture on top of each muffin, pressing lightly to ensure it sticks.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the delicious sesame crunch with banana goodness!
