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 560 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

    Truely foolproof! Thanx so much! Everyone used to make fun of me saying I could only “re-heat”or “microwave”, but with your help I’ve showed them!

    This recipie truly is the best! After years of trying banana muffin recipies that tasted like soda or flour or having really no flavour at all, this recipie hit the mark. I love that it calls for lots of bananas – finally a muffin that tastes like something!
    My 1 year old loves them. Thanks!

    Absolutely simple and foolproof indeed! I’ve made different variations and they all came out great: varied the types of flours (whole rice flour was best, also corn flour!), substituted applesauce or yogurt or peanut butter for the butter, added different kinds of nuts, chokkie chips… my all-favorite is opening a few of pouches of chai tea and mixing it with the dry ingredients…. yummmm, banana-chai muffins!!! I’m glad Google search took me to your site! :-)

    needed to use up some really ripe bananas…made the muffins, quick, easy and tasty! Should have used walnuts, but its Sunday in France and nothing is open on Sundays! Next time!!

    I tried your banana muffins and as you say they are delicious. I did use the full cup of sugar and I know what you mean except my fellow loves things sweet or else he’s not interested. Thanx heaps.

    My family loves these muffins! They are so fast, and easy to make that I find myself making them weekly now. I love that you can add whatever you want to them. We love them with blueberries and my son’s favorite is with chocolate chips too. Even if you can’t bake a thing, you can make these muffins.

    Made these just before. Didn’t rise as much as I thought they would but this is because the shapes in my muffin tin were short and wide rather than tall and narrow. They tasted great, and really moist. :) :)

    These really were delicious. I sprinkled brown sugar on the top of some and added chocolate chips to others. They were a huge hit with my very picky eaters!
