Tips:

Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
Use a muffin pan with a non-stick coating or line the cups with paper liners. This will help the muffins come out of the pan easily.
Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. The muffins will rise as they bake.
Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This should take about 20-25 minutes.
Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help them hold their shape.
