Notes
For best results, use a stand mixer or hand mixer. You can still make these in a bowl, but the mixer will help incorporate everything better.
Don’t overmix the batter when adding the yogurt, bananas and dry ingredients. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins and cause the tops to “peak” when you bake them. (stick up too much on top)
Store in an air-tight container for up to a week. (Though these muffins are best enjoyed within 2 days!)
