Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease 12 standard-cup muffin tins or line with liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
In a medium bowl, mash the bananas. Stir in the butter, honey, and egg. Mix well. Add the milk and vanilla and mix until blended.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and, with a wooden spoon or spatula, mix just until incorporated.
Divide batter between muffin cups, about 1/3 cup of batter each.
Bake until the tops spring when you touch them and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 12 minutes.
Muffins keep in an airtight container or zipper bag at room temperature for 3-4 days. They also freeze well!
