BEST EVER BANANA MUFFINS
These are the only banana muffins I make now. I add chocolate chips to my batter and triple the recipe. These freeze great. I got this recipe from an old (1980's) Canandian cookbook called "Muffin Mania". (Prep time is a guess.)

Tips:
- To ensure moist and fluffy muffins, let the batter rest for a few minutes before baking. This allows the baking powder to activate and create a lighter texture.
- For a sweeter muffin, increase the amount of sugar in the recipe. For a less sweet muffin, decrease the amount of sugar.
- If you want a muffin with a crispy top, sprinkle some sugar on top of the batter before baking.
- To make sure the muffins are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done.
- Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before enjoying them. This will help them to set and prevent them from falling apart.
