Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: Overripe bananas add natural sweetness and moisture to the muffins, reducing the need for added sugar.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Line the muffin tins with paper liners: This will make it easier to remove the muffins from the tins and prevent them from sticking.
- Fill the muffin tins to the top: This will create tall, domed muffins.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Overbaking can dry out the muffins.
