Allow bread to cool in pan for about 20 minutes before turning out on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

I have NEVER made banana muffins this good.....moist and fluffy.......amazing!!!!! Thank you so much.

Best banana muffins ever!! I think I’ll try them in a loaf pan next time.

I am visiting my son and daughter in-law along with my granddaughter in Mexico and I got some really ripe bananas. Came across your recipe. I substituted vegan butter and 3 egg whites they turned out fabulous. Everybody loved them.
Thank you

These are my go to. My older parents live with us and I often make these early and pop them over before they get out of bed. Sometimes I use Greek yogurt to up the protein content for them. Thank you!!!

Best muffins ever! I used ratio Greek yogurt(vanilla). My muffins were moist, and delectable. Thank you for sharing with us!

I expected these to be just regular banana muffins, but they were definitely moist, and so very flavorful! I followed the recipe exactly, and without any additions or toppings, just to test the base recipe. So very delicious. My husband ate three right out of the oven. 
Thank you for this delicious recipe!

I'm an experienced baker,  so I did my usual substitutions but used Justin's recipe as a guide.   Room temp eggs ( are you kidding me?), a couple of overripe bananas plus a couple I had stashed in the freezer (defrost already!), subbed coconut milk yogurt for the sour cream,  and used all canola oil (there's no butter left in the house after Thanksgiving!).  I also added some chocolate chips.   It made 12 regular muffins plus 3 muffin tops.  These are absolutely delicious... light and fluffy and yummy.  Justin...I love your reels, and you're a baking genius!

Hi Justin, wow these are Amazing! I ended up with 12 tall muffins baked for about 20-22 min. I divided the batter and put milk chocolate chips in one half and walnuts in the other, topped everything 
with turbinado sugar. The muffins were so fluffy, cake-like but at the same time dense enough and filling. Sweet but not too sweet, just right. This recipe will be my go to for banana muffins. Thank you!

You know it’s good when your mom says they were delicious. She told me to save the recipe. The only change I made was Greek yogurt for the sour cream. I didn’t have any sour cream, but the Greek yogurt added more protein for my older parents. Thanks!!

LOVE ITTTTT!!!!!
Actually it's my first time I got great results from online recipes(?) And I'm sooo happy right now
Even though I baked it in my air fryer, it is soo soft and tastes great!!!(usually, the bread or muffins cookies▪︎▪︎▪︎ become rock hard) 
Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe!!

My muffins came out great. I didn’t have chocolate chips to put on top so I put the Heath crumbles and it came out great.  thank you for all you do.

I had super ripe bananas screaming at me to make these tonight. 
Followed the recipe but here’s how based on what I had at home. I did the method in the video and not the recipe:
3 medium bananas 
Avocado oil
Mini semi sweet chocolate chips only
Cinnamon and sugar on top
After the 5 min on 425, 12-13 min on 350 did the trick
Made a bakers dozen
These came out incredibly light and fluffy and not overly sweet. Really perfectly how I was hoping they would turn out. 😍
