WARNING!!!
More than one batch may be needed. I am not responsible for the family fight that may break out over last Banana Muffin.
Sunday mornings in my household usually start with a brunch. We don’t typically do anything fancy but some scrambled eggs, mix of fruit, hash browns and homemade muffins are frequently on the Sunday brunch menu. There is just something so comforting about a muffin served hot from the oven that gives you all the good feels.
Banana Muffins
These Banana Muffins are quite delicious and incredibly easy to whip up. Just smash your overripe bananas and whisk in the remainder of the ingredients. Bake and eat. Easy peasy. I think this is a great recipe for kids to begin learning how to cook also. So get your kids in the kitchen on Sunday morning with you!

Yum! Bananas and walnuts are my all time favourites. I noticed that you use 1 cup of sugar in this recipe can less be used?
You could use less sugar and put in a little bit of honey to keep them sweet but reduce that sugar a little.
Banana bread is my favorite treat! I haven’t made it in muffin form but will absolutely try this out! Yum!!
As soon as I read this, it sounded delicious! A great classic for sure,
I love banana muffins and they are great for Sunday mornings when we are rushing around getting ready for church. A nice treat and a great way to use up those leftover bananas.
Absolutely Sheila!
Yum, these look perfect! I love banna muffins, haven’t made them in forever.
Ooh! My kids have been gobbling up banana bread, but it gets a bit crumbly. These muffins might cut down a bit on the mess!
I think kids are messy regardless but worth a shot! lol
YUM! Banana muffins are my absolute fave. I haven’t made any in a while though.
