Notes
- Try to use the most over-ripe bananas for maximum sweetness.
- Try different extracts or mix in some spices like pumpkin pie spice or cardamom or saffron for a different flavor profile.
- To take these up a notch, top them off with a drizzle of chocolate ganache or vanilla glaze or even melted chocolate.
- Only brown sugar is used in this recipe. Please do not replace it with granulated sugar or powdered sugar because the results will not be the same.
- Do not over-mix the batter because that will yield very tough muffins.
- Do not over-bake because that will make the muffins very dry.
- If you are concerned about batter sticking to pan, you can use muffin liner but sticking really shouldn't happen if you grease your pan well.
- Read additional tips and variations above.
- Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen in sealed freezer bags for up to 1 month.
