Three key things to the best Homemade Banana Muffins
As promised, here is our recipe for the best homemade banana muffins.
- Make sure you have 3 very ripe bananas- this ensures a dense, moist crumb to the muffin.
- Use whole cane sugar such as Sugar in the Raw
or Wholesome
– it isn't overly sweet and bakes really well.
- Great bakeware like the USA Muffin Pan
– they bake evenly and come out perfect!
To save you the trouble, of searching any further, here is my version of yummy Homemade Banana Muffins. These are great for breakfast, to enjoy with tea or coffee or as a snack in the lunch bag.

thanks Kelly, this is a great recipe. K
You are so welcome! Hope you like them!
Thanks Suzi!! 🙂
I love banana muffins! This recipe looks easy- I might try to make these today since I have everything but the canola oil- can I swap out olive oil or veg oil?
This recipe is very easy! And yes, most definitely can substitute veg oil in place of canola. Let me know how they come out!
I have some bananas that are just about ready to be used in banana bread or muffins!
You will love this recipe Jackie! I have more bananas that are ready as well…so looks like I’ll be baking up a fresh batch! 😉
I have bananas on the edge! I may make some of these tomorrow! Thanks! 🙂
Get them off the edge and into that mixing bowl! The kids will love them!
I am a HUGE fan of banana muffins and these look easy and delicious! I need a fast breakfast for my kids that are having the hardest time getting out the door with something healthy to eat. I am really excited because I just looked and I have everything here to make these tomorrow! Thanks for the idea. 🙂
I love banana muffins too…but I don’t like how store types are too sweet leaving that weird taste in your mouth. You know what I mean? These are just right…and will make the perfect on-the-go breakfast for the kids!
Ok, love this … can we use a gluten free flour and see how it turns out?
Will give it a go.
I don’t see why not…I have coconut flour in the cabinet…maybe I’ll try a quick batch with that and see how they come out. 😉
YUM (as I have several browning bananas in my kitchen right now!)–
I have a banana BREAD recipe I love that calls for sour cream. I was hesitant at first, but I think it really helps it stay moist. My kids love it (but they refuse the walnuts, sigh. when will they wise up?!), but muffins are so easy for quick school morning breakfasts for them. I should do this more often.
🙂
You will like this recipe! The muffins come out super moist and freeze really well!
Homemade? Banana? Yep sign me up I’m in! YUMMY!
I love bananas…so this is the perfect treat to have when I want something quick. Banana bread is yummy too…but these are faster 😉
I just made them as I had bananas growing in the kitchen, they look great and am waiting for then to cool to try. Smell delicious.
Please let me know how they came out!
Nice recipe.. if i am to substitute the oil to butter .. how much butter do i need
Thanks
Hi Sheela,
I would start with 1 stick softened butter and see how that works. Let me know if that is enough…I will have to experiment as well!
