Prepare the batter as listed in the recipe below, but divide the batter between 12 wells in a standard-size muffin tin. Bake the banana muffins in a preheated 350\u00baF oven for about 30 minutes, or until the muffins have risen all the way in the center, they\u2019ve browned nicely, and a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean (crumbs but no wet batter).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make sure your bananas are VERY ripe.<\/strong> The sugar content of bananas increases as they ripen, so the more ripe they are, the sweeter the bread will be, and the banana flavor will be more pronounced.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use a fork. <\/strong>If you don\u2019t have a mixer, you can still make this delicious bread. Whisk the oils and sugars with a fork or whisk. I also like to mash the bananas with a fork.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t overmix the batter.<\/strong> Stirring the bread batter too much or too vigorously will create a rubbery texture in the baked loaf. Fold the wet and dry ingredients together just until evenly combined.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Preheat the oven. <\/strong>This is a non-negotiable when baking. The sudden exposure to high heat (rather than a slow increase of a non-preheated oven) is what helps the loaf rise properly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use a different mix-in.<\/strong> The walnuts in this recipe are optional, but I love the contrast in flavor and texture they add to the bread. You can also substitute chocolate chips if that\u2019s your jam, or try my\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.budgetbytes.com\/chocolate-banana-muffins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">chocolate banana muffins<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"block-callout__icon-arrow\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"67\" height=\"36\" viewbox=\"0 0 67 36\"><path d=\"M31.035 17.043c-3.032.319-6.09.472-9.14.533-3.992.078-4.45-.045-4.324-4.172.013-.417.264-1.964.016-2.414-.696.302-11.452 6.87-15.961 9.782-1.537.993-2.514 2.284-.449 3.634 5.249 3.434 10.586 7.278 16.228 10.867.113-1.732-.085-3.01-.05-3.473.346-4.76 1.026-3.911 5.6-4.417 6.997-.775 14.1-1.037 20.968-2.44 12.123-2.472 20.075-9.7 22.58-22.176.12-.59.156-1.198.32-2.494C57.853 13.2 44.654 15.61 31.034 17.043Z\" fill=\"#000\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-storage-instructions\">Storage Instructions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p>I could eat this whole loaf of banana bread within a few days by myself no problem, but if you\u2019re not a champion eater like myself, here\u2019s how to store the leftovers.
