Basic Banana Muffins Recipe

Reviewed on May. 20, 2013 by ZHammer

I have tossed my old banana-nut bread recipe! These muffins are moist and tasty, and easy to make. The muffins are even better the next morning. You won't have to worry about leftovers. I am going to try making a whole batch (I made 1/2 batch since it's just the two of us) and freezing part of them to have handy.

Delicious! Added a bit of cinnamon and just a dash of nutmeg, good banana flavor and excellent muffin consistency.

I just made these muffins. The only two changes I made was that I used whole wheat flour instead of all purpose flour and I added a mixture of chocolate chips and peanut butter chips to the batter. These are so moist and delicious. Thanks for the recipe.

We loved this recipe. I did reduce the sugar to 3/4 cup. It was sweet from the ripe bananas. I used 1 1/2 cups self rising flour instead of all purpose (with self rising flour no additional salt needed). I reduced the baking soda to 1/2 tsp. We loved the taste of 1 tsp. cinnamon & 1/4 cup nuts to make them really special.

This recipe makes a great banana muffin! I replaced half the white flour with whole wheat flour and I added 2 tablespoons of poppy seeds. The muffins came out perfect.

This is now my go-to banana muffin recipe. I sometimes add 1C of blueberries or 1C diced strawberries. I always add about 1/2C chopped walnuts or pecans. I make 18 instead of 12 muffins because of the additions and I found the original recipe to be just too much for only 12 muffins. Everybody loves these muffins. YEEEAAA!!!

Sooo yummy. I added 1 cup of finely shredded zucchini. (I would've also added cinnamon but ran out). My girls (5 and 12) LOVED them.

I made this recipe just as described and the muffins turned out great! I did add 1/2 cup of walnuts, which was a great addition. I highly recommend this for its ease!

This is a very good recipe that works up quick. I did substitute unsweetened applesauce for the oil which cuts down on the fat and calories and makes it very moist and tasty. This recipe is a keeper. :)

Delicious, light and moist muffins! This is my family's new favorite muffin recipe, and my 5 yr old helped with every step. We made a double batch and used equal amounts mashed ripe plums (skins removed) and bananas, plus added a bit of ground ginger and cinnamon - best muffins we've ever made!

I have 3 teenagers and a wrestling team who request these muffins constantly! I substitute white whole wheat flour for all of the flour and use olive oil. I knock the sugar down to 3/4 cup. Still unbelieveably delicious and heathier!

Great recipe! I made as directed for the first batch & then changed it up for the second. In the second batch I substituted canned apple & raspberry pie fruit(same quantity as banana) for the banana & it worked just as perfectly.

I reduce the sugar to 3/4 cup. These muffins keep great as a snack later in the day or for the next days lunch...if you can get them to last that long.

I just throw the bananas in my mixing bowl and beat to mash, add remaining liquid ingredients and incorporate dry. Goes together so fast.
