Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° and add paper liners to a mini muffin pan or spray with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.

Notes
Storage
- Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Wrap individual muffins in plastic wrap and freeze them for up to 3 months in an airtight, freezer-safe container or heavy-duty freezer bag.
- Bring to room temperature before serving.
- Loosely spoon your flour into your measuring cup and level it off with a knife to avoid compacting and using too much.
- Mix your batter until the ingredients are just combined, meaning the dry ingredients are moistened but there are still lumps. This ensures the best texture.
- Use the ripest bananas possible. I used yellow bananas for the photos because they're pretty, but your bananas should actually have dark brown spots at a minimum. The riper, the better!
- Use fresh baking soda to ensure your muffins have the best rise.
- For the best texture, let your batter rest for about 10 minutes before baking.
