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.
