A recipe for old bananas

Many of us grew up knowing that bananas that were...past their prime...are never supposed to be thrown out. Mothers and grandmothers around the world would always tell us to "save those for banana bread." How black bananas turned into a hot tasty treat was always a mystery to me until I told my own kids the same thing. Now that those famous words had been said, I had to learn what to do. What resulted was this easy to make recipe.

FAQ

Can you use frozen bananas for muffins?

You should not be afraid to freeze your old bananas to save them for this recipe but I would not recommend using them until they are thawed. This recipe involves "mushing" the bananas to get them ready for the batter and that is going to be almost impossible if they are frozen.

Why do overripe bananas make the best banana muffins?

As bananas ripen their starch breaks down into to sugar and they grow softer and easier to mash. The blacker the banana, the softer, and sweeter, and better it will be for baking.

What is the secret to making moist banana muffins?

The oil, chocolate chips, and bananas provide a lot of the moisture for the recipe so make sure not to skimp on those.

Can banana muffins be made non-dairy?

You are in luck! As written this recipe is non-dairy.

Are banana muffins healthy?

While the bananas add a good amount of potassium and some fiber to the muffins, generally speaking these muffins would not be considered to be a health food.

Can I eat these muffins on Passover?

These muffins are completely chometz free so that means that you can eat them on Passover! Besides being kosher for Passover, these muffins are also pareve.
