Facts and Tips for Banana Muffin Tops

Can I substitute all white or all brown sugar for the half and half on the sugars for banana muffin tops?

Yes, you may use all one kind of the sugars. Brown sugar is a bit sweeter and adds to the flavor of these muffins.

Can I substitute regular whole milk or 2% milk for the buttermilk for banana chocolate chip muffin tops?

Whole milk or 2% milk may be used instead of the buttermilk. I do think the buttermilk adds a bit of a tang and moistness to the muffins. Another option is to use whole milk and add a tablespoon of white vinegar to the milk.
