  3. In a large bowl, whisk 2 large eggs.
  4. Add 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium), ½ cup milk (any kind), and ¼ cup light corn syrup to the eggs. Whisk until combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fill the muffin cups about ¾ full.

  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
