These muffins are so moist the tops have markings from when I stacked them in my cake holder! The secret: bananas and finely diced green apple. This one bowl recipe is a favorite since, well, I only use one bowl, one spoon and a muffin pan. I’m all about easy clean up. The trick is to mix dry ingredients first, push the dry mix to the sides of the bowl, thus creating a hole in the center and then add the wet ingredients to the center.
I wait until my bananas are brown, which grosses out my children and signals banana sweetness awaits me! This recipe is super fast and to create an even moister muffin, use coconut oil instead of vegetable oil.

Happy #SavvyBaking (food allergy savvy that is)!
One of the hardest things I find about managing both life threatening food allergies and asthma is talking to others. I hate to be the one that might be perceived as demanding, pushing or for asking too much. What I now know, fourteen years later, is that honest, clear information presented with kindness works!..
I agree & do the same thing- wait until they are horribly brown but perfect!
Tracy, I used my 3 tablespoon scoop. Just saying.
