Yes, there are a million different recipes for banana muffins. In fact I have a couple here on my blog already, but this recipe is by far the easiest and most delicious of them all. How is it different you ask? I guess I like this recipe because it has less sugar than the one I’ve been using for years, and it also has baking powder which I swear makes a difference in the bigger size of the muffins. Plus this recipe can all be mixed by hand using only 2 bowls if you wanted. I used a mixer out of habit, but you really could just mix the ingredients by hand, making this recipe so easy. It’s a great one for kids to try out on their own!
The smell of banana muffins baking is one of life’s great pleasures. It’s the smell of something delicious about to come out of the oven…mmmm warm banana muffins are a fave. I don’t think I’ll ever grow tired of this humble muffin. I actually feel sad for people who don’t like them. 😉
But seriously, you should try these. They’re great for breakfast, snacks, and kids lunches.

Oh these do look easy! My hubby LOVES banana bread but it gets so messy and crumbly when he takes it on the go. I will definitely be making these for him!
These are so simple and delicious – my two year old’s favorite! I added some chocolate chips, which makes them extra popular! Making another batch now due to toddler demand! Thanks!
You are so welcome! I’m so happy you and your family love them!

Do you know how many calories in this muffin? They are delicious!
I have made this recipe at least 10 times and it comes out perfect every time! I make these and put them in a large zip lock bag for our busy family to be able to grab on the way out the door for breakfast. My teenage daughter and husband love them. I made some for my brother-in-law who LOVES banana bread and he actually ate them for his dinner one night because he “could not wait until breakfast”. Thanks for sharing this quick, inexpensive and delicious recipe.
Oh that is so fantastic to hear Carla! They really are so delicious aren’t they?!
