These banana muffins are SO good! They’re moist and fluffy, which can be hard sometimes with banana muffins or bread. We’ve all had our fair share of dry, dense banana bread. And sometimes you barely taste the banana. My secret: I add a teaspoon of banana extract to amp up the banana flavor. The trick to keeping these banana muffins moist and fluffy is to remove them from the muffin tray 5 minutes after you take them out of the oven. This reduces the after-cook effect: food continues to cook after you remove it from the oven. This results in a softer, more moist muffin texture. Once you make these, you’ll never go back to another recipe. Enjoy!
