Awesome Banana Muffin Recipe

These are by far the EASIEST and BEST Banana Muffins I have ever tasted! Even if you think you can’t cook, they are 100% “fool-proof” which makes them all that much better! With only 8 ingredients (which you probably have on-hand) I am sure you’ll agree these are super easy. See for yourself in the feedback! There are over 1000 positive comments – if that’s not good feedback, I don’t know what is!

They are extremely easy, and great tasting! So versatile…change them up and let me know how they turned out! You just can’t go wrong with this GREAT RECIPE! If you like them, leave me a comment and tell me about your muffin victory! :-)

Banana Muffin

Banana Muffins (makes 12 muffins)

3 or 4 Large bananas, mashed (the more bananas the moister, so I use 4)

1/2 cup white sugar (original recipe calls for 1 cup, but I don’t like them too sweet)

1 slightly beaten egg

1/3 cup melted margarine or butter

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups flour

Mix the mashed banana, sugar, egg and margarine together. Set aside. In a separate bowl, mix together baking soda, baking powder, salt and flour. Mix wet and dry ingredients all together! Pour into greased muffin tins, and bake in 350 degrees F oven for approximately 20 minutes. Enjoy!

*These are much more flavourful the next day, and they freeze very nicely too!

*Also, if you like walnuts, you can throw a handful of those in there as well for some added flavour and texture, or try adding chocolate chips, or better yet, BOTH! Yum :-D

    These are the easiest muffins ever! They’re soooo good, so moist! My husband loves banana muffins, and these are his favourite! I made a batch tonight, and added some chocolate chips-I could probably eat the whole try myself, as they are amazing!

    YUM! These turned out soooo good. I have made a few recipes I found online and they never turned out..I had lost hope I would one day make a delicious muffin until I found this recipe! Actually I used 3 mini loaf pans..cooked for about 45 mins. :)

    These are VERY easy and wonderful. Because my hubby has an allergy to wheat, I used oat flour. In place of the egg, I used Chia seeds. That is the only thing I changed. The batter made 24 mini muffins and 6 regular size muffins. When hubby came home….. he ate 12 mini muffins in less than a 1/2 hour cuz he loved them. I will make them again!!

    Were very good. Kids have been gobbling them all up! I barely had any left over to save for the hubby at work, and the son in school! Added a bit of pure vanilla extract, dash of cinnamon, and nutmeg. Baked them in 8 mini loaf pan for about 35 mins in my convection oven at 325.

    Thank you for this lovely recipe. It truly is an easy and fool-proof recipe. I baked this last night and my kids thoroughly enjoyed it.

    I can’t cook. And I can usually find a way to mess up a recipe. But I’ve made these muffins a handful of times and they are always delicious. There’s a batch in the oven that my 4 year old helped me make that we’re eagerly awaiting!!

    Does the recipe for banana muffins require plain or self raising flour?

    I made these with my 4 & 5 year old, they did most of the work themselves(which proves how easy it really is). We kept the recipe the same, with the exception of crumbling some brown sugar on top of them before popping them in the oven. The muffins were a hit! Everyone wanted seconds :)

    In the oven, now. I added an apple, cinnamon, and chopped pecans. Anxious to try them.
