how to serve moist banana muffins

They’re really great with a little bit of honey or butter on them.

They are also excellent with your favorite cup of coffee in the morning.

Breakfast Banana Muffins Tips & Tricks

Don’t overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter can result in dense cupcakes. Only mix it until it is combined and then stop mixing.

Don’t worry about your mashed bananas being completely smooth. If you have little chunks of banana left, they are perfect because you’ll get bites of them in the muffins.

Be careful when adding the melted coconut oil to the wet ingredients. Once coconut oil gets back to room temperature (or cold) it will solidify again.

How long do you bake banana muffins?

Banana muffins need to be baked for 20 minutes at 350°F or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Easy Banana Muffins Substitutions & Alterations

While I always like to offer substitutions and alternations for my recipes, I usually don’t when it comes to baking.

Baking is a science and can be finicky. The ingredients and measurements I’ve given yield the best results so I don’t recommend substituting or altering this recipe.

How to store Banana Muffins (Easy Recipe)

Banana muffins are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Banana Muffins Easy Recipe FAQs

What makes a muffin moist?

The key to moist muffins is to avoid over mixing your batter and don’t over bake them.

Are banana muffins healthy?

Depending on the recipe you use, banana muffins can be healthy. This particular recipe doesn’t use any granulated sugar.

What makes muffin fluffier?

To keep muffins fluffy, avoid mixing the batter too much. By over mixing the batter, you end up incorporating a lot of air that will deflate after baking.

What can I do with lots of ripe bananas?

I recommend making banana muffins, banana bread, or even banana bread oatmeal with ripe bananas.
