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

These are the ‘best’ muffins !! I have been making them for the office for a few months, and from there they have been made at several employees homes .. I tweaked the recipe a bit (4-5 bananas, less butter, added vanilla) … they are eaten so quickly, you go turn around, 7 of them are gone.
These are so easy to make and DELICIOUS!!! My picky 3 year old LOVES them! First time making banana muffins and I must admit I am not a great cook but these are failproof! I added blueberries to half the batch and both are awesome. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I swear by this recipe! Memorized to a “T” after making them once a week for the last 6 months, lol … my family and friends all love them and they are the easiest, most foolproof muffins to make! Thank you so much for the great recipe!
I tried this banana bread (added 1 cup walnuts), and I’m not one to leave anything after I try something. Mostly cause nothing is so amazing it brings to me to write anything. But this bread, it’s to die for. I knocked my socks off .. and this is really saying something, as I can’t bake to save my life. I will make this time and time again, I might even “hide” banana’s from my husband so when they are over ripe I can make again. ^-~ (11/10)
These are the best banana muffins I have ever tasted! I have my parents constantly asking me to make these for them – i dont know how people EVER buy store made muffins when these are on the web.
Thanks everyone for the lovely comments! By now, I’m sure you’re all aware of just how delicious they are – and how EASY too!
With 4 kids and a muffin monster for a husband, I put these in mini muffin tins to make them last a little longer, and they are easy to pop in your mouth that way. They are great for the office too!
Great! I used 1 cup white-wheat flour and 1/2-cup plus 1 tbsp cake flour, and the 4-banana suggestion. SO SOFT. 5 of us at the whole tin!Oh dear! Thanks again, this will definitely lead me to trying some of your other recipes, and sending others to your site.
Great muffins, thank you so much for such an easy and yummy recipe! I made 30 mini muffins out of this recipe which are great for my little girls and their little mouths! Great for the lunch box too for their morning tea.
Easy and tastie muffins! Excellent way to use up ripe bananas and the kids love them! After cooked you can make them fun and spread some peanut butter on top and sprinkle with chocolate chips or raisons! “YUM”!!!!!
I’m so excited to try this recipe! I woke up in the mood to bake this morning. My only concern is the fact that I see everyone using really ripe bananas, but I was about to head to the store to pick some bananas up specifically for this recipe. Should I increase the amount of banana if they aren’t super ripe?
This REALLY is a very good recipe….I like to add semi-sweet chocolate chips to mine. They are VERY moist and taste very banana like!!!
Ok, well, I made them with not so ripe bananas (4 + 1 really ripe) and they came out perfect! Thanks for this awesome recipe!
These are sooo yummy. I also tried with a cup of boysenberries and a couple of chocolate buttons in each of the tin segments and they went down well. Think my hubby will be pleased because I will be making muffins a whole lot more now. Thanks
Thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Easy to do. Kids was helping me doing them. They really liked them too.
thanks from Malta.
Absolutely delicious!!!! Just made these this morning for the first time and they are a big hit with the family. My six year old son (a very picky eater) scarfed down two. Will be making these again for sure!
I used half a cup of brown sugar and half a cup of white, as well as some cinnamon and a 1/2 tsp of Vanilla extract. It makes for a sweeter muffin if you DO happen to have a sweet tooth, and the cinnamon adds a nice aftertaste. I like them best with a cup of semisweet chocolate chips, though. So tasty- this is the first recipe I’ve come across that I liked as much as the one from Muffin Mania. I love how much you can do with these.
Due to a wheat intolerance, I made these muffins subsituting brown rice flour equally for the wheat flour. Turned out TERRIFIC! My husband ate one and couldn’t tell the difference.
awesome recipe me and my boyfriend just made them then and they were soooo easy and yum!!!
After avoiding adding this to my recipe book for months, I realized that if I keep coming back to this page it must be a keeper! I love to half this recipe for a quick late-night fix; it’s all done in about 30 minutes and satisfies my sweet tooth just fine. Thanks!
I Hope These Taste Amazing, I’m Just About To Make Them & Was Wondering; 3 or 4 Bannanas? You Guys Have Answered It For Me, Thanks!
Hope They Turn Out Great!
Love these I never bake but thought it would be fun to try. First round I only had 1 cup of flour in the house so I added 1/2 cup of pancake mix. They turned out amazing
I even went out and bought more flour and made another dozen the same night. Everyone loves them. Perfect for school functions especially when its a peanut free event. THANKS SO MUCH
Have you tried adding raspberries to plain banana muffins? It gives them a scrumptious extra dimension, try it! http://www.greenapplesorbet.com/2010/07/13/muffins-filled-with-rubies/
Happy cooking
These were wonderful. I had these overripe bananas and wanted some muffins to share….yummmm and sooo easy. I added a handful of dates too as they were going to be shared with some senior citizens who always like help with digestive challenges! These were delicious! Thank you! Polly
wow, Ive tried a lot of muffin recipes over the years, this is the best banana muffin recipe i have come across. great job, i will me emailing it to all my fellow baking friends
I used to make a banana bread recipe that was very similar… the high banana content really makes these muffins moist and sweet! I decided to try using Splenda instead of sugar for these muffins (to justify my addition of chocolate chips). They came out delicious, and next time I plan to add some pecans, as well!
THESE ARE AWESOME MUFFIN RECIPES ALWAYS USE EM.
These are soooo good and fluffy too! Easy to make too.
These are very good and moist! I went with 3/4 cup sugar and chocolate chips, yum! Thanks for sharing the recipe
I make this receipe frequently and have used other people’s suggestions.
I use splenda and use about 1/8 of a cup as I find the bananas are sweet enough.
I have added walnuts in my mixtures as well.
Thank you for posting this dairy free recipe!!!
Well, that is rather fascinating. I started my web search for bananas simply because I wanted to come across a fantastic recipe for banana pie. Some how I came across your website. I am very glad I took the time to read your page. Fascinating how the internet can move you around and support you to learn so quickly. Thanks for the wonderful insight. I’m off to find a great banana pie recipe.
I love this recipe and have been making them regularly for a year. Now I am nursing a baby who is allergic to milk and soy, and these are still my go-to baking treat recipe. I use Earth Balance soy-free margarine, and sometimes I add walnuts and/or Enjoy Life brand soy- and dairy-free chocolate chips. So yummy!
As a big cook, and experienced muffin maker I was skeptical at such a simple recipe…. BUt wow these are perfect. Thank you!
First off my name is pronounced ELL-AY.
These Muffins, are VERY easy, adding almonds make it delicious and LOTS OF CHOCOLATE CHIPS. Thanks for the amazing recipe! lovelovelove ellaey xoxoxox
I just made these with 2 mashed mangoes instead of bananas and whole wheat flour, and they turned out great!
THESE MUFFINS ARE SUPER YUMMY I COULD EAT THEM ALL DAY
In the oven right now…they smell divine !
Best banana muffins EVER! Thanks!!!!!
these are so so good. but i don’t think my oven’s hot enough because these were kind of mushy inside. would it work if i used only 3 bananas instead?
hi! thanks for the banana muffin recipes. it is very easy to make and everybody just loved it in my family (even my grandma who is not fond of muffins). my sisters keep asking me to make them.
Amazing. The batter was just enough for 12 muffins, all came out picture perfect, and tasted as good as they looked. Didn’t make any changes to the recipe. Next time I’ll try nuts. It’s a keeper!
Thank you so much for the great recipe. The banana muffin is delicious.
WOWZA! these are great, simply and delicious! Thank you

These muffins were awesome! We added cinnamon sugar, vanilla, and blue food coloring, and they tasted (and looked) amazing! Plus it was like 3am and we were tired, so it was good that it was so easy to make too.
