Tips & Tricks (5)
- Banana Ripeness Matters 🍌Use overripe bananas with brown spots for maximum sweetness and moisture in your muffins - the darker, the better for flavor development.
- Molasses Magic 🍯Lightly coat your measuring spoon with cooking spray before measuring molasses to ensure it slides out cleanly and you get the full amount.
- Spice Bloom Technique 🌶️Briefly toast your ground ginger and cinnamon in a dry pan before adding to the batter to intensify their aromatic qualities and deepen the flavor profile.
- Muffin Moisture Hack 💧Do not overmix the batter - stop stirring as soon as dry ingredients are incorporated to prevent tough, dense muffins and maintain a tender crumb.
- Coarse Sugar Crunch 🍬Sprinkle coarse sugar on top of the muffins just before baking to create a beautiful, crispy, sparkling top that adds texture and visual appeal.
