  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

Notes

Pro Tips: Use very ripe bananas for the best sweetness. Do not overmix the batter for fluffy muffins. Variations: Consider nuts or chocolate chips, or make it gluten-free or dairy-free.
