Banana Topped Muffins

These muffins are light and fluffy with lots of banana flavor. So good! The slices of banana on top add to all the banana flavor in the muffin.

As I gathered everything for the recipe, I realized I was out of cupcake liners so I did not use them. I sprayed the muffin tin with non-stick spray and that worked just fine. I also mixed the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt) in a separate bowl before adding to the wet ingredients. The dry ingredients should be mixed just until combined and you need to be sure everything is incorporated.

The recipe also calls for the butter to be melted and “slightly cooked”. I wasn’t sure if that meant to browned butter but that sounded delicious so I browned the butter and think that is a great addition that adds a nice rich nutty flavor.
