Banana muffins are so easy to make and are a great breakfast, lunchbox item, or after school snack. They also freeze well. To free muffins wrap individually and store in a large freezer bag.<\/p>\n

I’ve been making this simple banana muffin recipe for over twenty years. You probably have all these ingredients in your kitchen. So whip up a batch before the kids get home from school or wake up from their nap.<\/p>\n

I’ve made this recipe with white flour, whole grain flour, and half and half. It makes perfect muffins every time. Substitute the oil for applesauce<\/a> for a healthier muffin.<\/p>\n

I\u00a0 double the recipe so we have enough muffins to last the entire week.<\/p>\n

One important tip to note when making muffins is to not over mix the batter. Mix until the ingredients are combined. After scooping muffins into the muffin tin, allow them to rest for 5\u00a0 minutes. This creates a fluffier muffin.<\/p>\n

To make muffins that are all the same size, use a cookie scoop<\/a> to scoop the batter into the tin. I use two scoops for each muffin.<\/p>\n

Remember the riper the banana the sweeter the muffin. Once bananas are too ripe for my kids to eat we peel them and freeze them in small bags so they are ready to use in recipes.<\/p>\n
