Notes

When filling up the muffin cups, fill them all the way to the rim. These muffins are not going to rise because we are not using flour, baking powder, or baking soda. So fill them all the way to the top.
Always try to use overripe bananas. If you only have ripe bananas, add 2 Tablespoons of water to the bowl and then use a hand held masher to mash them. The extra water helps loosen things up.
If you don't have a hand held masher, you can use a fork or your hands to mash the bananas.
I prefer the bananas to be lumpy and not completely smashed. Having chunks of bananas baked in with the mixture really adds to the texture and flavor.
To store leftovers, place each muffin in a gallon sized plastic bag so that it lays flat. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can eat them chilled or warm them up in the microwave for 15-20 seconds. They pair extremely well topped with butter or dipped in honey.
These also freeze extremely well! Once they are completely cooled, place each muffin in a gallon sized plastic bag and place in a freezer for 3-4 months. To defrost, place the bag of muffins in the refrigerator until completely thawed.
