Tips:

Choose ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
Use a muffin scoop to fill the muffin cups. This will ensure that all of the muffins are the same size and shape.
Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can make the muffins dry.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help the muffins to hold their shape.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
