Tips to make soft banana muffins

Blend the bananas for an even mixture, which helps reduce dry or gummy patches.
These muffins get sweeter, more moist with time as the moisture and sweetness from the bananas gets absorbed into the flour. So they are best a few hours after baking.
These muffins do not need much sugar if using nicely ripe bananas. You can top with some chopped nuts and skip the streusel for a lower sugar muffin.
Store them covered by a towel or a container with just a bit of air circulation to cool. This helps reduce the moisture loss during cooling, keeping them soft.
