TIPS FOR MAKING PERFECT BANANA MUFFINS

Make sure you use bananas that are overripe – the stinkier and spottier the better. The more ripe your bananas are, the more flavour they will add to your muffins.
It’s important not to over mix your muffin batter (that goes for making any muffins), so just use a bowl and a spoon and a light hand when mixing together.
Use a fork to mash the bananas – and mash them well. Otherwise you’ll have big wet chunks of banana in your muffins – gross.
There is a trick to making high top muffins just like those at a bakery. First, you need to make sure you fill the holes of your muffin pan right to the top with batter. Then you want to bake the muffins in a very hot oven during the first 5 minutes of baking. This will ensure the muffins rise quickly and form those lovely domed tops. The oven temperature can then be reduced for the remainder of the cooking time.
To ensure muffins are light and fluffy, use buttermilk and try not to over bake them.
If you don’t want to add pecans or any nuts, swap them out for your favourite chocolate chips.

HOW TO MAKE BUTTERMILK FROM SCRATCH

If you don’t have any buttermilk on hand, try making your own buttermilk from scratch. Add one tablespoon of white vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Leave for 5 minutes to curdle, then use as normal. I use this trick ALL the time because I never have buttermilk on hand.
