Notes

INGREDIENT NOTES

All ingredients must be at room temperature to properly emulsify: eggs, banana puree, etc.
Use ripe bananas to make the banana puree
Hint with finely chopped walnut or pecans before baking
You might be able to make more or less mini muffins with this recipe, depending on the size of your mini muffin tin cavities. Mine has 24

TECHNIQUE NOTES

Digital scale is required for a consistent, happy baking experience:)
Do not overwork the muffin batter, after the wet ingredients are whipped up, switch to a rubber spatula to incorporate the dry ingredients
Always pre-heat your oven and consider using a digital oven thermometer for the best results
Make sure to properly grease your mini muffin tin with butter so the muffins can easily pop out after baking
Baking this muffin takes 12 minutes in my oven however focus on the texture, not the time. Apply the toothpick check (it should come out clean) to avoid muffin, however do not over bake it as that would result in dry texture
