- Melt your butter first and set it aside so the butter can cooled down by the time you need to add it to your banana mixture.
- Also, if you have your eggs in the refrigerator, take them out before you start. Set them on the counter, this way they’re not too cold for when it’s time to add them to the banana mixture.
