- Ripe Bananas: Use overripe bananas with brown spots for the best flavor and sweetness.
- Measuring Flour: For best results, spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level it off with a knife. This prevents packing and ensures accurate measurement.
- Mixing: Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
Recipe Variations
- Blueberry Banana Muffins: Fold in 1 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries for a fruity twist.
- Peanut Butter Banana Muffins: Add 1/4 cup of peanut butter to the wet ingredients for a rich, nutty flavor.
- Vegan Banana Muffins: Substitute the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water) and use maple syrup instead of honey.
