  • Use ripe bananas for a sweeter flavor: The riper the bananas, the sweeter the muffins will be. If you don't have ripe bananas, you can ripen them quickly by placing them in a paper bag with an apple for a few hours.
  • Add chocolate chips or nuts for a fun twist: You can easily customize these muffins by adding your favorite mix-ins. Chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit are all great options.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
