Very good! Moist, just the right amount of sugar. Will make again
Thank you so much, Jen!
Love the recipes, but the ads and pop-ups are a bit much 😕
Thanks! There are definitely ads on my website, which is how I make income as a content creator providing free recipes, but I’ve found that my setup is actually way less than most free websites. Can you send me a screenshot of what you’re seeing that is preventing you from accessing the recipe card? I’d love to see what you’re talking about so I can make any adjustments needed. Thank you!
FANTASTIC recipe… except, it calls for one cup of the mixture of sugars, which I thought was crazy seeing as you were mashing two ripe bananas in. I did one quarter cup of each instead, equaling half a cup of sugars, and I still think it’s sweet. My bananas weren’t overly ripened either. For people who like sweet, I think this (¼ cup each with well ripened bananas) is the perfect amount but next time I would do an 8th cup of white sugar and an 8th cup of brown sugar. Hopefully, it would still come out good because the flavor is delicious and it is so incredibly moist. Oh, and I also omitted the nutmeg, because I never liked nutmeg, so I added a tiny bit more cinnamon.
Glad you found a sweetness level you enjoyed!
Flavor is outstanding but I agree on sweetness. I wish I had seen your suggestions first. I made it as is and while I enjoy the flavor, my tongue can’t handle this much sweetness so I will bring them to a family party today and give the rest away and try it again with less sugar
Sorry these didn’t come out to your liking. The sugar content also contributes to the texture of the muffins, but I totally understand everyone has different palates!
