As a snack or with a meal, these moist muffins go over great with the kids. The muffins fill them up and get them to eat nutritious bananas at the same time.—Lorna Greene, Harrington, Maine

Tip

Big Batch Baked Goods

We enjoy homemade baked goods for breakfast, but I don’t have time to bake each morning before school. So I devote 1 day a month to making large batches of cinnamon rolls, doughnuts, cream cheese rolls and muffins. I place them in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags labeled with the date. (They freeze for about 2 months.) On busy mornings, it’s a snap to pop a few in the microwave to warm. The kids love the fresh-baked flavor. —Lori T., New London, Texas

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. :)
