Notes
Helpful Tips:
- Achieving Perfect Muffins: Use overripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture. If they’re not ripe enough, microwave them for 30 seconds to soften.
- Preventing Overbaking: Keep an eye on the muffins from the 25-minute mark—insert a skewer into the centre; if it comes out with moist crumbs, they’re ready.
