Best Banana Bread Muffins Recipe - Easy, Delicious & Homemade
BEST Banana Bread Muffins (Easy!) are moist, soft, and perfect for breakfast or an afternoon treat.
Equipment
- Muffin pan or foil baking cups (with paper liners)
Ingredients
- 4 medium bananas overripe (or at least speckled)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup light brown sugar packed
- ⅓ cup butter melted
- 1 large egg beaten
- ½ tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips optional
- ½ cup chopped walnuts optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a muffin pan with paper liners. This recipe will make 12 muffins.
- In a large bowl, use a potato masher to mash peeled bananas into a smooth puree. Add beaten egg, melted and cooled butter, and vanilla. Stir until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt until combined.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated. Fold in chocolate chips and walnuts if desired.
- Fill liners about ¾ of the way up. Bake for 15-21 minutes, until toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out with loose crumbs.
- Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack – or enjoying them warm!
Notes
I recommend using bananas that are at least speckled for banana bread muffins. Very ripe bananas are easier to mash, sweeter, and more flavorful. Measure your dry ingredients carefully! I recommend using no more than 1 cup of mix-ins (chocolate chips, walnuts or both).
