I love banana bread so much that I often eat two or three pieces a day. It’s like my own personal dessert! But I can’t live on just banana bread alone.

That’s why I came up with this recipe for the perfect banana muffin that you can make every time:

Don’t overmix the batter.

When it comes to mixing the batter, less is more. You don’t want to overmix the batter or else your muffins will be tough and chewy. The best way to mix together all of your ingredients is with a whisk or spatula–not an electric mixer. This will ensure that you don’t overwork the flour and make it too dense for your liking.

Use enough ripe bananas.

You’ll want to use three ripe bananas in this recipe, but they shouldn’t be overripe. If you don’t have enough ripe bananas on hand, add 1/4 cup flour to the batter and reduce the amount of sugar by 1 tablespoon (to make up for the extra dryness).

Use whole milk.

Use whole milk. Whole milk gives your muffins a richer taste and is more nutritious than low fat or skim. You can also use buttermilk, or a combination of whole milk and buttermilk; this will give you muffins that are slightly more tender than those made with just plain old milk. Or try half-and-half in place of all or part of the liquid called for in your recipe–it’s an easy way to add some extra flavor without changing too much else about your batter!

Let muffins cool completely before eating.

You may be thinking, “Who cares about the shape of my muffin? Why do I need to wait for it to cool?” Well, if you don’t let your muffins cool completely before eating them, the flavor won’t develop as well and they’ll be less enjoyable. Also, if you eat them while they’re still warm (which is best), there’s a good chance that your muffin will fall apart before your mouth gets there!

So next time you make some banana bread or breakfast treats with bananas in them, take note of these tips and tricks so that everyone can enjoy their deliciousness fully.
