Banana Muffins are moist, tender, and packed with sweet banana flavor. These classic muffins are simple to make and perfect for breakfast, snacks, or meal prep. Customize them with nuts, chocolate chips, or keep them plain for a wholesome treat.

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/2 cup sugar (brown or granulated)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, pecans, or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
  3. Add eggs, sugar, oil, and vanilla. Whisk to combine.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in any optional mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips.
  7. Divide the batter evenly into the muffin tin, filling each about ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a healthier version, use whole wheat flour and reduce sugar.
  • Freeze muffins individually wrapped for easy grab-and-go breakfasts.
  • Overripe bananas with brown spots work best for flavor and moisture.
