Tips:

  • Be sure to mash the bananas well before adding them to the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. The muffins will rise as they bake.

  • Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
