Tips for the Best Banana Muffins
- Use overripe bananas – The darker the banana, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
- Don’t overmix the batter – Stir until just combined for light, fluffy muffins.
- Add a crunchy topping – Sprinkle coarse sugar or a cinnamon crumble on top before baking for extra texture.
- Make them healthier – Swap half the flour for whole wheat, reduce the sugar, or add flaxseeds for a fiber boost.
Storing & Freezing
Banana muffins stay fresh for up to 3 days at room temperature in an airtight container. For longer storage, freeze them in a ziplock bag for up to 3 months. Just pop one in the microwave for a quick, warm treat!
