Notes
- Mash the Banana Well. This will eliminate any chunks in the batter while also making a more moist muffin.
- Don’t Over-Mix the Batter. This activates the gluten too much and makes the muffins firmer and denser.
- Add Some Mix-Ins! Make muffins just the way you like them. Sprinkle them on top or mix them into the batter right at the end.
- Serving Ideas. They're great with a schmear of butter but I also love them with this homemade pistachio butter and strawberry chia jam too!
