    • Add ½ half cup chopped toasted walnuts or pecans to the muffin batter.
    • Substitute banana extract for the vanilla extract

    💭 Tips

    • Refrigerate whole bananas that are getting brown faster than you will be able to use them. This slows down the ripening process and allows you to preserve the banana without having to freeze it.
    • Mash bananas with a small hand whisk, this mashes the bananas to the proper consistency without leaving large lumps!
