I have such fond memories of these muffins from when I was a child. My mom has a recipe book called Muffin Mania (it was published in 1982, which explains the name) dedicated solely to muffins and the page with this recipe on it is stained and weathered and almost illegible. My copy of the recipe is in similar condition. That should tell you just how good these banana muffins are!!

We have 4 banana lovers in our house and we go through at least 3 bunches a week…sometimes 4, so there are weeks when I actually have to hide bananas from my husband and kids in order to let them ripen enough to make muffins with. But it is so so worth it!

These Best Ever Banana Muffins are easy enough to make with your kids (trust me, I make these with my 2 year old and 4 year old at least once per week) and they come together quickly and simply and the end product is absolutely fantastic!

Feel free to add chocolate chips to these Best Ever Banana Muffins, if you want, but they’re so good on their own they don’t even need chocolate. You could also add nuts or dried fruit if you like, but when it comes to these muffins I’m a purist…I love them just the way they are!

Best Ever Banana Muffins

Cuisine Baking
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 23 minutes
Total Time 33 minutes
Servings 12 Muffins

Author Chrissie Baker (The Busy Baker)

Ingredients

  • 3 large ripe bananas
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup oil vegetable oil is best
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line your muffin tin with 12 paper muffin cups.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until no large pieces remain.
  3. Add the sugar, egg and oil and mix with a wooden spoon until everything is incorporated.
  4. Measure the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a separate mixing bowl and stir them together with a fork. Once they’re mixed together, dump the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
  5. Using a wooden spoon, carefully mix the wet and the dry ingredients together. The danger here is over-mixing which will result in dense, flat and dry muffins. The best technique for mixing is to scoop underneath the mixture and pull up gently instead of stirring around in a circle (like you’d stir your coffee, for example). Continue mixing this way just until the dry ingredients have been incorporated. It’s fine if there are a few small streaks of flour in the batter; it’s the large pockets of flour you want to make sure are incorporated.
  6. Spoon the batter into 12 lined muffin cups. Try your best to ensure you fill the cups evenly. This will ensure each of the muffins is finished baking at the same time (you don’t want some over-baked and some raw in the middle!)
  7. Bake the muffins in the oven at 350 degrees for about 23 minutes (anywhere from 22-25 minutes, depending on your oven), or until they are golden brown.
  8. Let them cool in the tins for about 5 minutes and then turn them out of the tins to let them cool completely on a cooling rack. Or, enjoy one warm from the oven slathered in butter.

Recipe Notes

These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days, although they’ve never lasted that long in our house!

      Thanks Katelyn. I often do that with this recipe too! I keep the oven temperature the same and increase the baking time by about 20 minutes to start. The baking time largely depends on your oven and also what kind of loaf pan you're using (glass pans vs. aluminum pans vs. non-stick pans), so watch it closely and use the toothpick test to see whether or not it's done after an extra 20 minutes. Good luck!

      These muffins freeze really well after they're baked, but I wouldn't try to freeze them before they're baked and I also wouldn't recommend freezing or refrigerating the batter. The leavening agent is activated as soon as the wet ingredients are mixed with the dry ingredients, so if you let the batter sit for too long it will change how the muffins rise (they'll likely rise way too much at first and then completely deflate). It's best to make them and then bake them right away. Hope you enjoy the recipe!

    Hi can you tell me if I used self raising flour instead of all purpose as I don't have any of that in my cupboard and just omit salt, baking soda and baking powder would they still taste ok oh sorry I was talking about those lovely looking banana muffins

      Hi! I've never made these with self-raising flour so I can't comment on how they'll turn out. I'm sure the taste would be similar but the texture might be a bit different. Good luck!

    Hi, I was wondering if I add chocolate chips to the recipe and cut out some of the sugar, will it affect the outcome of the muffins?
    I am by no means a baker I just follow recipes and was just wondering if you would know? There is so much chocolate left over from Easter I am making chocolate everything. Thank you.

      Chocolate everything sounds good to me!! 🙂 Yes, you can absolutely add some chocolate and reduce the sugar by up to a third and the recipe will still work beautifully! Enjoy!

    Hi,can I use whole wheat flour instead of all purpose flour. Will the texture and moisture be affected because of that ? Thank you

      Yes! You can definitely use whole wheat flour. It will cause the texture to be a little bit more hearty, but it will still taste great! Enjoy! 🙂

    I just finished making these about an hour ago and my partner has just about eaten them all. They are very nice from the one I've managed to take for myself, thanks for this wonderful recipe I see myself making these quite a lot. Also a great way to use up some of those cheap bananas I've managed to get my hands onto.

    These truly are the best ever banana muffins I have made. I did omit 1/4 cup sugar and found they were perfect. So good thanks for this recipe. My family demolished them.

      I don't think olive oil would be the best choice – it's got quite a strong flavour that might not work in this recipe. A good substitution for the oil in this recipe is actually melted butter or melted margarine. Good luck!

    hi I loved this recipe and have made it a couple times now its a good toss up between this and a recipie I have that uses yogurt. I also tried to make these a bit healthier by mixing everyones suggestions…I used half cup honey instead of sugar. 1/3 cup applesauce instead of veggie oil and divided the flour to 1 cup white and 1/2 cup wheat also added 1/3 cup quick oats, 1tsp vanilla and even a dash of cinnamon. They came out hearty and deliscious! I even popped a few blueberries in a few and just as tasty! 🙂

    By far the simplest but most delicious muffins I've made! Made a dozen and they were gone by the next morning!my family had asked for more. And I do alot or baking so they are not new to home baked goods. But i see this as a new family favorite. Thank you for the post.

    I've been making these since the Toronto Star reprinted the recipe in 2008. I even hunted down a reprint copy of the cookbook! I love them, but in most batches felt like they were salty, and they sometimes had that tang you get when something is overleavened. I reduced the salt to 1/8-1/4 tsp. depending on ripeness, and the baking soda and powder to 3/4 tsp. each, they still worked beautifully. In fact, I made them today for breakfast and added 1 cup of chocolate chips as per the Star… Yum. (If I were doing chocolate chips again, I'd probably cut that to 2/3 cup because they were almost too chippy!)

        Do you know how long you would bake the mini muffins for,should I use the same temperature that use for the big ones? and about how many would one recipe makes. Im getting ready to make these, for some 2 1/2 – 3-year-olds for coop preschool… thank you

        Reply

        • Chrissie says

          Yes, use the same temperature and just watch them as they bake…maybe shave a few minutes off the baking time, but watch them carefully. I don’t make these as mini muffins very often, but I think this recipe would likely make somewhere between 24 and 30 mini muffins, depending on the size of your mini muffin pan of course. Hope that helps!

    Ok so here is a question. I only have 2 ripe bananas and I looked up what to substitute 1 banana with and it said 1/2 cup of applesauce. So what do I do about the sugar and oil measurements now? Ty for your time!

    Reply

    • Chrissie says

      Hi Jacquie, thanks for your question. This is an incredibly forgiving recipe – what I’d suggest is adding only 1/4 cup of applesauce and keeping all the other ingredient amounts the same. Applesauce tends to add a lot more moisture to a recipe than a banana would since the water content is higher, and if you find your batter at the end is a little too runny even after only adding 1/4 cup of applesauce, just add a few more tablespoons of flour before baking. I’m sure they’ll turn out great!!

  31. Cara says


    Just made these for my weekly “breakfast” treat. I doubt they’ll last till Friday!

    I admit I went off book a bit but you are so right in how forgiving the recipe is! I did a half cup of shredded coconut and a quarter cup of chocolate chips and reduced the sugar to a quarter cup. Had to add a splash of milk to get the consistency right after all my “add ins”.

    This is a recipe worthy of writing on a little card and keeping in the “go to” box on top of the fridge!

    Thank you!

      I’m not sure exactly how much oatmeal would be good to add…perhaps I’d suggest cutting the flour by half a cup and adding the same amount of oatmeal. Maybe a little more. But because I’ve never done it I can’t guarantee that it would work. Good luck!

    I gotta tell ya… I only kinda follow recipes. Baking isn’t a science, right? (…it totally is) So, I had two crazy ripe bananas, some olive oil, some coconut oil, and the rest of the ingredients and decided “meh, good enough” I was right- it was. I over mixed, I only half way measured, I added some cinnamon and walnuts… these should have been awful. They weren’t. They were stupid delicious. Seriously. So. Good. Thanks for the recipe!

    Hi there,

    I have read the comments and see how half the sugar can be replaced for applesauce, however what if I want to use no sugar at all and no honey or maple syrup or substitute??? My daughter has high dietary restrictions. Also any egg substitute that’s been tried???

    Thanks!!! . Stephanie

    Hi there
    I was so tempted to make these right away after reading the recipe and was just prepping up to make them now but realized I ran out of baking soda. Can I skip it completely or use a substitute? I Google and found I could use 4times baking powder but would that make them taste bitter.
    Your recipes are really good.

    Reply

    • Chrissie says

      Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately I can’t suggest another leavening agent for these muffins. Baking soda is truly the best and it makes the recipe what it is. It’s probably a best idea to make the recipe when you get some baking soda 🙂

    Thanks so much for the recipe!! I just made these on a Sunday morning and they turned out amazing!!! I was worried because I only had whole wheat flour, and I replaced the all purpose flour completely, but I also used an extra half a banana and replaced 1/3 of the granulated sugar with brown sugar and I think it made up for the texture!! They are so soft inside and perfectly crispy on the outside. And it was so quick!! Thanks again! : )

    I just made these and they are delicious! Perfect as is, or as other have stated, with reduced amount of sugar. Especially if you’re planning on adding chocolate chips or topping with a sweet spread. The only thing I changed was using 1/3 cup of apple sauce to replace the oil. You would never even know and it’s even better for you :). Thanks for this awesome banana muffin recipe, it’s officially my favourite!

      Great question! I have used a combination of white and brown sugar for this recipe, but never only brown sugar. I think it would probably work just fine, though. This recipe is very forgiving. Brown sugar does have more moisture, so maybe add a tablespoon or two of flour to the batter just in case. Let me know how it goes!

    I know this is a muffin thread but I was in a hurry and made it into a loaf. 5×9 pan and 40 min @ 350*

    I added 3/4 cup of thin sliced (inexpensive cooking variety) dates and used 1/2 cup sugar, a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg.

    It turned out lovely. I ate a slice or 2 or 3 LOL with bottled peaches, cream cheese and chocolat ganache. I can hardly wait till tomorrow. Most people love Banana Bread/Loaf. My store often has properly aged bananas for 1/2 price. [How great is that (Ina Garten)]

    Thanks so much for this recipe. My daughter had state exams this morning and asked me to make muffins for her breakfast. Panic set in as I realized I had no instant muffin mix and no recipe that I knew off the top of my head to make. I scoured Pinterest for 20 minutes and then came across your recipe.
    These muffins were a hit! My daughter took 4 to school and I took the other 8 to work. I shared with all my coworkers and everyone loved them. Expect some traffic to your site because everyone was asking for the recipe. You saved the day!

    This is the perfect banana muffin recipe—thank you! It seems super forgiving as well. I swapped the sugar for 1/3c maple syrup, used avocado oil, and swapped the all-purpose flour for 3/4c oat flour and 3/4c whole wheat flour. Then I topped some with mini chocolate chips and the rest with a teeny bit of Demerara sugar. SO good! Thanks again, this recipe is a keeper for sure!

    My two year old and I have made these almost every week for a few months. Anytime I have tried a different recipe I have regretted it. Along with Martha Stewart’s pancake recipe, this is one I keep going back to. The only sub I make is to use extra virgin olive oil because it’s all we use. We all love these muffins!

    These actually ARE the best banana muffins! I also cut the sugar by 1/4 cup as per another reader’s comment. Easy recipe and great tip about combining wet and dry ingredients to make sure they’re just incorporated. So light and fluffy inside with a thin, crispy outside. Perfection! Thanks for sharing!

    The dozen muffins turned out very well! Of course, I did have a taste test before I take them to work. They’re delicious! Thank you for the recipe.

    These are so good! I doubled the recipe and only used 1 cup of sugar instead of 1 1/2. Half of the batch I mixed with dried blueberries and almonds. They baked really well and tastes really good

    Thank you so much for the simplest and tastiest recipe for banana muffins I have ever made. I should add, I’ve been baking banana muffins for over 50 years now.

    I halved the recipe since I only had 1 bananaa, but still used a whole egg. I used 1/4 cup Splenda instead of sugar, and added a little ground ginger and cinnamon. The kicker was that I put a thick fig jam in the middle that had chunks of fig, and they were amazing!!!
