Notes
Note:
- The butter can be substituted for coconut oil.
- The more ripe the bananas are (a little icky even) the better!
- If using the mini-muffin tins, the mixture will make approximately 24 mini muffins, but be sure to reduce baking time to allow for this.
- The sugar is fairly low in this recipe, if it's not sweet enough, you could use 1/2 cup instead or add some maple syrup.
- A couple of chocolate chips added to the top of the muffins can help to entice picky eaters!
