Instructions

Set oven and prepare pan. Preheat the oven to 350°F, adjust 2 racks towards the center. Prepare 1 to 1½ muffins pans with cupcake liners.
Mix dry ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cardamom, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg. Mix to blend and set aside.
Mix wet ingredients. In another large mixing bowl, combine the melted cooled butter, honey, milk, vanilla and mashed banana. Mix until all of the ingredients are evenly blended. Then add the eggs and use a whisk to mix until they're fully incorporated, and the batter is as smooth as possible. (There will be some lumps from the mashed banana.)
Combine wet and dry ingredients. Make a "well" in the center of the dry ingredients and the pour in the wet mixture, along with the banana slices. Fold until everything is blended together and you no longer see any dry spots.
Fill the muffins pans. Evenly divide the batter among the paper liners -- they should be filled almost to the top.
Bake, cool and serve. Bake in the preheated 350°F oven until the muffins are golden and no longer jiggle, 25 to 30 minutes. Let them cool and then remove from the muffin pans. Serve.
