3. Bake for 50-60 minutes or till a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clear. Simple!

Don’t neglect these muffin baking ideas

• Use further ripe bananas. I imply EXTRA ripe and nearly brown. They’ll give your muffins a pure sweetness.
• Use contemporary baking soda & powder. It will be certain that the muffins rise correctly. In case your baking soda or baking powder is greater than 3 months outdated I’d counsel swapping it out.
• Don’t overmix the batter. Combine the flour into your moist elements till it’s simply mixed. In case you overmix the batter your muffins could prove dense and nearly rubbery, which we don’t need. It’s okay if there are some lumps of banana within the batter!
