Recipes tips
If you don't have ripe bananas on hand, you can speed up the ripening process by placing them in a paper bag with an apple or tomato. The ethylene gas released by the other fruit will help ripen the bananas faster.
If you want to make these muffins gluten-free, you can substitute a gluten-free flour blend for the all-purpose flour. Just be sure to check that all of your other ingredients are also gluten-free.
If you're looking for a way to switch up the flavor of these muffins, try adding a teaspoon of nutmeg or ginger to the batter for a warm and spicy twist.
