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

substitutions and 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.
