Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
  • Use low-fat buttermilk: Buttermilk adds a tangy flavor and helps to keep the muffins moist. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This will allow the muffins to rise properly without overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes: Or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely: This will help to prevent the muffins from sticking to the pan.

Conclusion:

These low-fat banana buttermilk muffins are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They are moist, flavorful, and packed with nutrients. Plus, they are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy breakfast or snack, give these muffins a try. You won't be disappointed!
