Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe bananas. This will help ensure your muffins are moist and flavorful.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make your muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
- Bake the muffins at a moderate temperature. This will help prevent them from drying out.
- Don't overbake the muffins. Overbaking can make them dry and crumbly. Check the muffins for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the muffins are done.
