Tips:

Always use fresh, ripe bananas. Overripe bananas will make your muffins too mushy.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make your muffins tough.
Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. Overfilling will cause the muffins to overflow.
Bake the muffins at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help them rise and create a crispy crust.
Let the muffins cool completely before frosting or serving.
