Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400F degrees and line a muffin pan with papers.

Notes

For less sweet muffins, use ½ cup white sugar and ¼ cup brown sugar.
3 large bananas should be about 1 ½ cups mashed. 
Muffins are best enjoyed the same day that they're baked. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
