- Over Ripe Bananas: Use overripe bananas for maximum sweetness and flavor. The riper, the better!
- Temperature Check: Invest in an oven thermometer to ensure accurate baking temperatures, as ovens can vary, and precise heat is crucial for the perfect muffin texture.
- Muffin Liners: Use quality liners or grease the muffin tin well to prevent sticking and make for easy removal.
- Gentle Mixing: Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent dense muffins. Mix until just combined to maintain a light and fluffy texture.
