Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin pan by greasing it or lining it with paper liners.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Mash the ripe bananas and add to the mixture along with the vanilla extract, stirring gently.
  4. Add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt, folding gently until just combined.
  5. Distribute the batter into the muffin pan, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 16 to 21 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  8. Melt salted butter and mix cinnamon and sugar in another bowl. Dip the muffin tops in butter and roll in the cinnamon sugar.
  9. Serve warm or store in an airtight container.
