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

haven’t tried yet, but i have a question. what do you mean by ‘mix’ ? using electric mixer? thanks
Mix – sure you could use a mixer, but I would just mix by hand with a spoon
) Let us know how they come out!
Hey Cat!
You again are correct, I found you by google! Wow,,these are the best I have ever made!! Not sure why as the ingredients are pretty much generic…but wow, they are fabulous! I actually used 5 bananas as thats how many I had going too ripe. Then I added 2 T cinnamon, 1/2 cup toasted pecans, 1/2 cup coconut, and to top it off I added 1/2 cup crushed Heath toffee candies ( my son has a love for those!) I never said this version was for those watching calories! They are just wonderful!! I will NOT throw this recipe away!!
Thanks so much!

thank you
lily
Thank you Cat,awesome recipe.I lived 39 years in N.Y. and now I am in Brasil homesick for American food and muffins were my favorite,humhum.
these are good :] its my first time ever making banana muffins but im enjoying it so far!
Lily:
Personally, I use about 1/8 cup splenda, I was using 1/4 cup because bananas are naturally sweet and have not had a problem with them.
Delicious! Thanks for Banana muffins Recipe. Fruits are very good for health.I will try it as soon as possible. I have written a similar recipe recently. Thanks Once again.
I’ve added some peanut butter and have used wholegrain flour….still in the oven but smell awesome! excited to try them……

i made the banana muffins the other day and they were delicious.
i also put 1 1/2 cups of walnuts and that made it even better.
lily
I like putting peanut butter on them once cooled! YUM!!!

Hi there!
I LOVE your banana muffin recipe, ive been making for more than a yr. But i have a situation. I was studying in Ukraine then and well, they use to sell those long nice bananas from ecuador but since ive been back home in Malaysia, well, bananas are just much smaller in size. So could you please give me an estimate on how much the bananas would be in grammes for this recipe : ) Only the bananas. Please do help me out… Thanks!
hello,
what kind of banana’s?
i found that if you use brown bananas they taste way better.
lily
I tried the banana muffins…I cut everything in half as i only wanted 6 muffins. I must say….perfectly delicious!! I did add a sugar/cinnamon crumb topping to mine. I will be checking out more of your recipes TY Cat
I added half-teaspoons of cinnamon and nutmeg and also some chopped-up dates.
My wife has always been the muffin baker so this is the first time I’ve tried it. I’m working abroad (the dates will suggest where) and had three very, very ripe bananas and nobody on hand to save them.
The muffins came out perfectly – exactly the right quantities too. 12 delicious muffins.
Awesome indeed.
Chris
mmmmmmm delicious
Awesome muffins indeed!! I never have luck with stuff like muffins & cakes but this worked perfectly. I wont be embarrassed serving these at coffee this arvo with my mates

They were very easy to make and they tasted very delicious!
Thank you so much for the recipe.
hello from germany!
hey Cat, for the second time i did the best banana muffins ever and this time it was even better, because i actually look for the right conversions. last time i had put 300 grams of flour, when the right ammount is 192!
this time, i used the right amount and a hanful of choped almonds. great!
cheers!
i use an electric mixer due to lazyness and they come out superb
Just made this… and they are REDICULOUSLY GOOD! YUM!
Hi I made these muffins and added some frozen berries, they were amazing!! they didnt last long in the house. thanks for sharing the recipe!
Brilliant recipe! I make them with 1/2 cup of sugar and sprinkle oats and brown sugar on top before baking. I also use good quality oil instead of butter (quicker!)
Hallo!
thanks for sharing your banana muffin recipe,i made them for my son’s b-day celeb in pre-school,teachers said,they were super delicious!
These are the best muffins I have ever made from scratch. Used 4 bananas (3 were REALLY ripe). I added about 4 ripe strawberries cut up real small and a small handful of white chocolate chips. They are amazing!
he cat , the muffins were great . I added a little bit of honey . It’s realy delisious
Tastes even better if you add one quater small bottle on vinilla extract in!
Hello, we use normal flour yeah not anything like self raising flour like what some recipe suggests?
normal flour will do yeah.. thanksss
This Banana Muffins are GREAT!
) This is the only recipe I use and I LOVE it! I put a dash of cinnamon here and there. Thank you very much Cat!! 
I made these muffins last night….. FANTASTIC! I used 5 overripe bananas and added chopped walnuts and some almond extract. They came out super moist and very flavorful…. I’ll be making these again in the future
Hey there,
Wow just amazing! Just finished baking this recipe with my toddler, it nice and easy and delicious!!!
Blessings
I made an accidental “fat-free” version of these muffins (yes, I left the butter in the microwave!) with walnuts, and they still turned out perfect and very tasty!
I just came across this recipe this morning. I just got thru making them, and I just wanted to say, that they are wonderful! Very moist, and so easy to make. I will keep making these. Thank you.
Awesome recipe, quick, easy and I only had 1 egg and I added Choc Chips to mine – DELICIOUS!!!!
I’ve been looking a long time for a great banana bread/muffin recipe and have been mostly disappointed until now…these were the best!!! And so easy, with so few ingredients! THANKS!!!
I just made them they are so good, I only had two banana’s in my house so I had to fill in for the other two banana’s with crushed pineapples. So yummy!!
These muffins are the best! I followed the recipe (4 bananas) and they came out just perfect.
can you use applesauce instead of butter?
Yep – it works great!!
Hi Cat,
Tried out muffins yest….They were yummy….
I added some milk to get better consistancy(just 3-4 tbsp)
They tasted great and get over…Now got to make once more
Cheers!!!
Easy is right! The kids in my preschool class made these today, they are 3-4 years old and needed very little help from me. They loved eating them too! We used wheat flour for part of the flour. Thanks for easy and kid friendly!
I was looking for a healthy muffin recipe as I have a lot of diabetes in my family and am always trying to find something good with less calories. I modified the recipe to the following ingredients and I think they were still very good, although I’m sure the “real” butter and sugar would make them even better.
I used 4 large bananas
instead of the sugar I used 3/4 cup of Splenda
instead of the butter or margarine I used 1-4 oz. container Activia light vanilla
instead of regular flour I used whole wheat flour
I also made 6 large muffins instead of the 12 and baked them for about 5 minutes more.
Yummy!
I have made these muffins several times, every time a little differently depending on how many bananas I have. Chocolate chips are always good in them, added non-fat cream cheese once when I was short a banana, which was also a nice touch.
Love reading what everyone else has tried! I will throw some strawberries in the batch I am about to make ~
I’ve just baked a batch of these muffins & they are awesome! I have used many, many recipes in the past & although all of them were tasty, this one beats them all. For the sugar I used 1/4 cup white & 1/4 cup splenda. And I added about a cup of semi sweet chocolate chips. This recipe has earned its place among my favourites! Thanks.
Easiest and tastiest banana muffins ever! Especially when they first come out of the oven. I had to stop myself from eating all 12!
Saw you on Breakfast Television this morning. I plan on trying this recipe later this week. I’ll let you know how it works out.
hi
i have just made these muffins,and they truly are awesome,they realy were easy to make and were eaten as fast as i could get them out of the oven.This is going to be my muffin recipe.thanks
