    Notes

    • The recipe is very forgiving and will work with less banana or a little bit more
    • If you fall short in banana amount, you can make up the difference using some other fruit puree or applesauce (to keep the moisture ratio)
    • Process can be simplified by mashing bananas in the same large bowl as everything else will go in
    • Oven temperatures vary; start checking on the muffins at around the 20 minute mark, then every 5 minutes or so
    • If using frozen bananas:
      • thaw in fridge overnight or in microwave if in a pinch
      • squish defrosted bananas in bag to mash

    Notes
