Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, use a whisk to combine the ingredients instead of a mixer. You can substitute the oil with melted coconut oil or unsalted butter for richer flavor. If you don't have nuts on hand, try adding chocolate chips or dried fruit instead. Ensure your bananas are very ripe for maximum sweetness and moisture. These muffins are also great made with whole wheat biscuit mix for a healthier twist.
