Tips for Making Delicious Muffins

Before we dive into the recipe, I wanted to share some important tips for making muffins. If you’re more experienced with baking, you might already know this stuff and can just scroll down.

Otherwise, I hope these tips help result in the most delicious baked goods you’ve ever had!

Use Fresh Ingredients

Start with fresh and high-quality ingredients; in this recipe it’s the eggs. Using fresh ingredients can significantly impact the flavor and texture of your muffins.

Don’t Overmix the Batter

Mix ingredients until just mixed. This means right when they are combined, stop and resist the temptation to go further. If you overmix the batter, it can add air. Your muffins will flatten as they bake. If there are some lumps in the final mix, that is fine.

Grease the Muffin Tin or Use Liners

I’ve been asked several times if non stick means you don’t have to grease. Grease the muffin tin generously to prevent sticking. You can use butter, oil, or non-stick cooking spray.

Don’t Overfill Cups

Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full to allow room for the muffins to rise and prevent overflow. You can go up to about 75% full to get more round tops.

Check with a Toothpick

Follow the recipe recommended baking time and temperature closely. Use a toothpick or cake tester to check for doneness. Insert it into the center of a muffin; if it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, they’re done.

Cool Properly

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents them from becoming soggy.

Store Well

Store your muffins in an airtight container to keep them fresh. If they have a high moisture content, consider adding a piece of bread to help maintain moisture.

Remember that practice makes perfect, so don’t be discouraged if your first batch isn’t perfect. With time and experience, you’ll become a master muffin baker.

Here’s what you’re going to need for these easy banana muffins with cake mix:

• 1 (15 ounce) box yellow cake mix
• 3 medium overripe bananas, mashed
• 2 eggs
• 6 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

The best way to save these cake mix banana muffins is in an airtight container at room temperature! They should last 3-4 days.

Muffins freeze wonderfully, so if you can’t enjoy them all on the day they’re made, wrap them in plastic wrap and put them in the freezer for later. They can be in the freezer for up to three months.
