7. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your muffins turn out perfectly every time:

• Make sure your bananas are very ripe for the best flavor and sweetness.
• Don’t overmix the batter; it’s okay if there are a few lumps!
• If you want to add a twist, try adding chocolate chips or nuts for extra texture.
• For a fun variation, consider making a Two Banana Muffin Recipe by doubling the banana amount for an even richer flavor.

How to Serve

These Soft Banana Muffins are perfect on their own, but you can also serve them with:

• A smear of butter or cream cheese for added richness.
• Fresh fruit or yogurt on the side for a balanced breakfast.
• Drizzle with a simple frosting for banana muffins if you’re feeling indulgent!

Make Ahead and Storage

These muffins are great for meal prep! Here’s how to store them:

• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• For longer storage, freeze the muffins in a zip-top bag for up to 3 months. Just thaw them overnight in the fridge when you’re ready to enjoy!
