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 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

Amazingly delicious. Soft, moist, a must to share with family and friends.
Hi
I found this recipe a few months ago and haven’t stopped making these muffins since. I make them about once a week but I’ve been able to adjust the recipe to accommodate many different flavours even savoury.
I have worked as a cook in cafes in the past so i’ve done a lot of muffin baking. Your recipe is absolutely THE BEST. It’s so easy and so reliable (something many muffin recipes fall short in, I’ve found).
Thanks for sharing this great recipe
Well these muffins are so easy to make, moist, delicious, and the best i have ever tasted. I have made them about 8 times already in two months everybody that has tasted them loves them.
Best muffins i have ever tasted. Easy to make and i will make these every chance i get.
Started to play this afternoon…. I doubled the recipe and used 3 giant bananas, and 2 large zucchini, shredded. Ginger, lemon zest,cinnamon and sunflower seeds. Used buckwheat again and creamed the bananas with the coconut oil and eggs. A half a cup of yoghurt as well, because the b’wheat needs more wetting. 12 texas muffins later…..OMG sooooo yum! Xmas treats ‘extraordinaire’!!!!
Cat you are the best!
Thank you very much, everyone love it. we have a wonderful day.
Made these this morning, substituted whole wheat flour for the white flour and sprinkled some chopped pecans on top, they turned out wonderfully! Next time will try adding some chocolate chips too! Thanks!! Easy peasy!!
I tried the banana muffin and liked it very much.
I added dark brown sugar instead if white and turned out pretty good.
Nosh
Mine look exactly like the picture! Great recipe-thanks.. Simple and delicious.
Love, Love, LOVE this recipe! I also found it several months ago and it is now my go to recipe (I’ve memorized it). Thank you!!
Excellent recipe! I was concerned with the half cup of sugar that they would not be sweet enough, but the bananas take care of the sweetness. This will be my go-to recipe when I need to use my overripe bananas!
Made these this afternoon with four bananas and an added 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla, and they are DELICIOUS! Thank you for the recipe; I’ll be making them again for sure!
I am very impressed with your recipe. My husband loved it and have been using this recipe since. For healthier options, I just used wheat flour, and canola oil instead of margarine or butter. for the nuts, i used walnuts for the 1st time, pecan the 2nd time and sliced almonds the 3rd time. They all well flavorful. BTW, How many cups will i put if i want to use honey instead of sugar? also, can you give me the recipe for carrot muffin? It is easier to freeze muffins than cake. I do need to slice them.
Dear Cat,
Just made the muffins- it’s banana season in Israel- They are divine!!
Thanks a lot ,you are the best
These muffins are excellent,..could this also be used to make the banana bread?
I made them n the family ate them so fast…sent hubby out for more bannanas n this morn. Made another batch. Ty I will bee buying ur cookbook too!
I have’nt made these yet but I’m sure they’ll turn out great! I love to bake and I’ve so far made brownies, the totally best caramel bars, and blueberry muffins. I’m younger than most people when they start to bake and cook. That’s what’s so awesome about the food I make! Thanks 4 the recipe!
You guys really weren’t kidding! This is by far the best muffin recipe I have EVER made! Thanks Cat!…. You have to try it! I liked it so much I just had to post!!!
Can I just use 1 1/2 cups of sr flour???
OMG. I love this recipe!! I totally made it and loved it so much, I posted a version of it to my own blog. Thanks so much for sharing! Check out my post and photos: http://apartment402.tumblr.com/post/40763408871/banana-muffins
Our family and friends love these muffins…no matter how many I make it is never enough. Thanks for a great recipe!!!
can’t wait to make these!! reviews are great, just waiting for the bananas to defrost
With all these fantastic comments, I just had to try them….and I agree, so moist and yummy!!!
I’m in the UK, so worked out the conversions (80g marg, 165g flour, 115g sugar). I used dairy-free margarine as family members follow a lacto-free diet. Even the un-cooked batter was tasty! Give them a go!! Thanks so much for the recipe, definitely keeping to make again!
I only had 2 large bananas, so I added 3/4 cup of raw sugar, as well as a 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste, and the outcome was super tasty, not to mention the recipe was super easy! Thanks very much.
Well i have been making Banana muffins for the past 20 yrs,because my girls loved them,i was recently visiting my daughter & didn’t have my recipe with me,so she says Mom go on the internet & you’ll find one.I have to tell you,this recipe of yours is simply the best ever,i’d give it five stars!!!

Gave this recipe a try today, and loved it! Easy and delicious. Thanks!
I have just made mine.They are really AWESOME! Thanx for the recipe.
Well yes this the best and the easiest recipe ever I have made these muffins so many times and they turn out to be great each time thanks a lot for sharing this recipe with us
My 1st attempt to make muffins and it turns out so soft & fluffy!!! Thanks!!! I add a little twist in it. I butter up pan a little & grill the bananas & let em cool down. I think it adds more flavor. I use only 1/2 cup brown sugar as the caramelized bananas adds the sweetness. And I throw in lots of walnuts and sprinkle em on top too to give it that crunch!!
I like the muffins but unfortunately my kids did not!
Next time I’ll try it with only three bananas. They didn’t like how you could see and feel the banana. I like how simple and quick cooking this recipe is.
“Awesome Banana Muffin Recipe | Cat Can Cook” was indeed a really wonderful
blog post, . Continue authoring and I’ll try to continue to keep following! Many thanks -Tia
Why did I ever stop making muffins? I dunno… These just came out of the oven… I used Sprouted grain WW flour, and Dark brown sugar and 1/2c of chocolate chips. SOOOO yummy, how will I get through Dinner without eating another! They’ll be great in the kids lunch boxes (if they make it to tomorrow!)
Made these today, delicious! Only thing I changed was adding 1/3 cup of wheat bran to the flour. Such tasty muffins! Thanks.
Yes these are easy and yummy. I used applesauce instead of the butter and they came out great. Thanks
These were amazing! Sweet lord we be eating banana cupcake for loooonnnggg time. Thank you!
I used 1/2 C brown sugar and added 3/4 C mini choc. chips and zest of one orange. PERFECTION!!
I’m doing a french project in which we have to make a recipe in french. And I’m using your ingredients! There the best!
I baked these this evening while baking a dinner casserole. After I put batter into 1/2 of the muffin tins, I added cocoa powder and some chocolate chips to the remainder of the batter. (I added just a bit of buttermilk for moisture to offset the dry cocoa powder.) The warm chocolate banana ones were delicious for dessert and I am saving the plain banana muffins for breakfast!
These muffins are so delicious and eay to make. Loved them. Thank you!
Lovvvvvve these!!!! Anyone know the caloric value?
Lovvvve these! Anyone know the caloric value? I eat waaaay too many when I make them haha.
