Pro Tips For Super Soft Muffins

There are 2 key points to get super soft muffins:

• First, use very ripe bananas.

The unripe bananas will be difficult to crush and will not integrate well into the batter.

• Secondly, do not overcook.

Try inserting a stick in the center after 20 minutes and continue to cook only if you see a wet batter on the stick.

The minute the stick is dry, your muffins are ready!
