Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be. Plus, ripe bananas are easier to mash, which makes for a smoother batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will prevent the muffins from overflowing during baking.
  • Bake the muffins at a moderate temperature. A lower temperature will help the muffins bake evenly without overbrowning.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help prevent the muffins from breaking.
