  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with butter or cooking spray.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine the bananas, brown sugar, milk, butter, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and allspice.

    Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  5. 5

    Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.

  6. 6

    Bake for five minutes then reduce the heat to 325 and continue baking for another 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

    While the muffins are baking, prepare the maple glaze. In a small bowl, sift the powdered sugar to remove any clumps, pour in the maple syrup and vanilla then whisk in the milk 1 tablespoon at a time until smooth and creamy.

    Once the muffins are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Drizzle the maple glaze over the cooled muffins and let it set for 10 minutes then add another drizzle of glaze if desired before serving.
