oil
1/3 cup (preferably vegetable or canola)
sugar
3/4 cup (granulated)
baking soda

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin pan by greasing it well or lining it with muffin liners.
2
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the egg, oil, and sugar to the bowl and mix until well combined and smooth.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking powder, baking soda, salt, and flour until evenly mixed.
4
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then pour the wet banana mixture into the well. Gently stir the ingredients together until just combined—being careful not to overmix.
5
Unwrap 2 packets of Twix, and crumble 3 out of the 4 sticks into small pieces. Fold the crumbled Twix gently into the batter to distribute it evenly.
6
Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 of the way full. Crumble the remaining Twix stick and sprinkle it generously on top of the unbaked muffins.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
8
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your homemade Decadent Twix and Banana Muffins!
