What are the best bananas for banana bread muffins?

For banana bread and muffins the riper the banana the better! You can use yellow bananas of course, but when bananas start to get spotted and black they are at their sweetest and it's prime time to make this recipe! 

If it's not a convenient time to make this recipe when your bananas are ready, no problem! Just peel and freeze. Then all you have to do is let them thaw in your mixing bowl when the time is right!
