Notes
Banana- always use ripe or overripe bananas to get the natural sweetness and adjust the sugar amount accordingly. Also, not ripe bananas are hard to mash properly and won’t mix properly into the batter.
Flour - you can substitute with whole wheat flour. Or 50-50 all purpose flour-wheat flour.
**For vegan muffins, use vegan butter or replace with oil and use dairy-free chocolate chips or skip it.
