Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: Overripe bananas are sweeter and add more flavor to the muffins.
  • Mash the bananas well: This will help to incorporate them evenly into the batter and prevent large chunks of banana in the muffins.
  • Use a muffin liner or spray the muffin tins with cooking spray: This will help the muffins to come out of the tins easily.
  • Fill the muffin tins to the top: This will help the muffins to rise evenly and prevent them from being too dry.
  • Bake the muffins for the correct amount of time: Overbaked muffins will be dry and crumbly, while underbaked muffins will be gooey in the center.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before serving: This will help them to set and firm up.
