Extra Baking Tips
- If you’d like to make mini banana muffins, follow the same steps above and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and a tooth pick comes out clean.
- If you’d like to make banana bread, grease a loaf pan (I also line with parchment paper but not necessary) and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until golden brown and a tooth pick comes out clean.
- I love adding extras into any muffin recipe. 1-2 Teaspoons of Cinnamon, 1/2 Cup of Blueberries, 1/2 Cup of Chocolate Chips or 1/2 Cup of Walnuts some of the few extras I’ve added into this recipes (not all at once).
