For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of regular softened butter. If you don't have rum extract, you can substitute with vanilla extract or a splash of dark rum. Toasted coconut flakes can be used as a topping for added texture and flavor. For best results, use very ripe bananas – the riper, the sweeter and more flavorful the muffins will be. Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
