Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be. You can also use overripe bananas, which are often available at a discount at your local grocery store.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough, dense muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Make sure your oven is preheated before baking the muffins: This will help ensure that they rise evenly and bake through properly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that they are fully baked.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the muffins to set properly.
