Tips
Here are some additional tips that you might find useful when making these banana chocolate chip muffins:
- If you don't have any ripe bananas, you can put unripe bananas in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 30-40 minutes until they're soft and blackened.
- If you want a healthier version of these muffins, you can substitute the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour and use honey or maple syrup instead of sugar.
- Make sure to never overmix the batter, as this can result in tough and dense muffins.
- Line your muffin tin with paper cups to prevent the muffins from sticking and for easy clean-up.
