This ultimate banana muffins recipe is my go-to for using up overripe bananas. Mix the batter until just combined, and do not overbake for super moist muffins.
2.27.17 These muffins baked up beautifully, exactly 12. Seriously, I think these may be the best banana muffins I’ve ever had. They are super moist, tender, and just bursting with banana flavor in every bite Followed the recipe to the letter and wouldn’t change a thing. House of Cochrane thanks for sharing this awesome recipe, it’s going into my Favorites folder.****UPDATE 6.6.18: This is one of my favorite muffin recipes, and I make it often. Today I had some VERY ripe bananas which needed to be used up, and a few blueberries. I dusted the blueberries with a little flour and added them to the batter. Baked up beautifully and made the muffins taste even better.
Read MoreI follow the recipe and no changes at all it was the first time trying them, they were blend and hardly no flavor. Next time I will add more cinnamon, sugar or applesauce. Even my brother in law(is a big fan of banana muffins and sweets) didn't like it

3-30-2017 ~A solid performer. Given these are light and fluffy, not dense with a tight crumb like a typical banana muffin or banana bread, this would be one to remember when you want a banana cake (um, with chocolate frosting).
I've made the same banana bread recipe forever and decided to make muffins instead. I tried this one because the ratings and reviews were so high. The only thing I did different was used pecans instead of walnuts--personal preference. These muffins are AMAZING. My family loved them more than my banana bread, which is huge! I have to say, I do too. They're nice and very flavorful...a great breakfast or snack. I think I'll be making these instead of my bread going forward. LOVED THEM! :)
The first time I used 3 small banannas came out a little dry, but the second time my banannas were much larger and they were perfect about 1.5 cups of mashed bannana.
These are rightfully 5 star muffins. Easy to make, few ingredients, and are moist, delightfully banana-y, and are perfect for breakfast or snacks. I wish there was a better measurement that simply 3 bananas, because they vary a lot in size, but I had two very ripe ones and some that were not so ripe. I cut one of the yellow ones into small dice size and folded them in with the mashed, and it added some extra texture. I recommend these to anyone who is starting out learning to bake. Second take, my husband said they were a little too sweet. I cut back the white sugar and used a little more than 1/2 c brown sugar. I also added about a quarter cup of oatmeal, and they were perfect. These will go into the muffin rotation without a doubt. Thank you.
I made this with the nastiest blackest bananas. I only had two but they were large and very sickeningly sweet. I made mini muffins and they only took 11 minutes to bake. Delicious.
This recipe is a great start. However I gradually added more bananas until I got up to 6 bananas and that was the perfect number. If you only do the bananas in this recipe, it doesn't really taste like banana muffins. I also replaced the nuts with 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips. Then they were the best banana muffins I ever made and everyone keeps asking for them again and again.
I have made these twice now and the second time I used half white and half whole wheat flour. I used canola oil instead of melted butter and they came out with a slightly crisp muffin top and a moist crumb. I got 8 large muffins from this recipe. Delicious!
These were light and delicious! I normally dislike when people make revisions and substitutions and then rate, but I had to substitute canola oil for butter (didn't realize I was out of it) and I substituted chocolate chips for the nuts (dear daughter doesn't like nuts). We all agreed it would be better without the chocolate chips. Her friend liked them with the chips. My husband said next time we will add nuts to half. All in all, the muffin mix itself was excellent!
Awesome. Made 12 medium muffins that lasted less than 24hrs. Will definitely keep in my recipe box
These were AMAZING!!!!! It really helps if you add ginger in place of the cinnamon. My mom loves them!!!
This is a great recipe, I added some chocolate pudding and chocolate chips(in substitute for walnuts) and it tasted better than the original recipe(in my opinion). I will definitely make it again, and encourage other people to give this recipe a try
Made these this morning, topped with chocolate chips. They’re absolutely moist, flavorful and delicious. This recipe is a must have. Thank you!!
Followed the recipe and added in pecans in place of walnuts, 1/4 c. oats, chocolate chips and crushed banana chips! Phenomenal!!
Made them last night for my son, who was home from college. I've used many different recipes for banana muffins but this is by far the best one yet. I didn't have walnuts but, since my son has a sweet tooth, I added a few choc chips. So moist and delicious. I highly recommend this recipe.
Love these muffins! I don't do banana bread well as it doesn't always come out moist. I decided to try this recipe for muffins. My banana's were so over ripe. One was almost liquid. These turned out so good and moist. I will probably never make it in a loaf again! It makes 12, so easy. I highly recommend.

This recipe will be my go to banana muffin recipe for now on!!! Cooking is very subjective, so with that I rated the recipe 5 stars for my family. I made the recipe exactly, no modifications. We loved the muffins and mine looked like the picture! I used a jumbo 6 muffin pan. I started with 17 minutes and then added 5 extra minutes for 22 mins. total. I will do one minute less next time because of my oven. Also, I have an electric oven and when the preheat timer goes off the oven still needs a good 15 minutes extra preheat.( Per the manufacturers manual.) So I turn the oven on and wait a good 20 minutes before putting the muffins in the oven. Great texture, great flavor, Sweet enough for our family( also depends on how sweet your muffins are), but not overly sweet. If you like sweeter muffins add a few extra TBS of white sugar. I did add the nuts, but I think I will add 1/2 cup next time, because we love more nuts. Yum, I will have more ripe bananas in a few days . I can't wait!
I am not a baker by any means but this recipe, unaltered was easy and tasted amazing. I did read all the other tips/notes before I started and really was diligent about not "over mixing" the banana mixture into the flour mixture...I did simply fold until all blended. Then scooped into cups...Wonderfully moist and very tasty.
Perfect muffins. My son had been asking for banana muffins so I tried these. I made them in a mini muffin pan because it's easier for him to eat. They're delicious and a keeper!
I added chocolate chips along with the walnuts and placed a few on top so they looked pretty. Very delicious!
Came out very good! Cut down a little bit on the white sugar and turned out awesome.
Best way to use up old bananas - 3 at a time! I added some blueberries I had to the top. Yum!
The muffins were moist & delicious. I followed the recipe exactly & this has been added to my favorites.
I halved the recipe and there was enough batter to make 9 muffins. I used a standard muffin tin. I didn't have baking soda so I used a little more baking powder. Next time I make these, I would like to use a streusel topping.
Yes recipe is moist, added nuts and cranberries. Timing was exactly 20 min. My muffin tin might of been large. Only got 8 large muffins and three much smaller ones. Having said all that, I was not impressed with flavor. It some how didn't have the strong banana flavor I was expecting. Good but not exceptional...Would of been really bad had I not added extra ingredients.
Oh, man! These are so good! I actually made 2 batches, since we gotta do gluten free and regular baking in our house. I added walnuts to one batch and topped both batches with struessel topping. They were so moist and fluffy! Thanks for submitting this recipe!
Very good. Easy to make. I used half the sugar the recipe calls for and just sprinkled the walnuts on top with some brown sugar and they were still very tasty
I doubled the recipe to get a few extra muffins, and added a bit more cinnamon and nutmeg than the recipe calls for just because. It definitely enhanced the banana overall I think. Definitely a keeper recipe.
Good and easy. Added half a cup of blueberries, Baking time seems short, but I adhered to the recipe and they were excellent and very moist.
Easy recipe. I made no changes. Kids and coworkers called it: delicious! Lighter texture than many quick breads-more cupcake-like.
These are awesome! I used some pecans we had on hand and didn't add the dash of nutmeg. I will make these again. They are so good.
The best recipe iv'e ever tried! (I have tried many!!) I add walnuts and choc chip and it always turns out delicious!!
This is by far the best banana bread recipe (and I've tried many over the years). I add an extra banana, extra spices ("Apple Pie" spice, "Pumpkin Pie" spice, more cinnamon) and the batter is a bit stiff, so I add a splash of milk (like 1/4 cup). The taste is perfect! FYI - the 12 muffins make a full loaf.
Easy to follow recipe and they came out great! I did use candied pecans for the nut portion and the family LOVED them!
The muffins are dense and very sweet. I was short one banana but it still turned out okay. I may make it again. It did take an extra 2 minutes to bake and may be due to my living at a higher altitude. I set the timer for 2 minutes early and kept a close watch.
Best Banana muffin recipe I've tried. They turn out perfect every time. And my kids love them. Sometimes I'll throw 2 tbsp of chocolate chips in them.
Loved this recipe! I added a little bit less than a half cup of white sugar and put some maple syrup to replace that sweetness. I also added caramelized pecans to the top to add a sweet crunch too!
Perfect every time and very easy to make. Didn’t have to change a thing
My mother in law has a great recipe I have always used but I lost it.This is closest I have found.Great muffins
It’s yummy! Fluffy n taste good to the last bite. will make again
I made these and they were so delicious. My husband said they had such a great flavor. Very easy to make. The recipe called for 3 large bananas but I used 4 medium to large and I also used pecans instead of walnuts. I think next time I’ll add 1/2 cup of nuts instead of the 1/3 it ask for. Just to make it nuttier. Great recipe highly recommend.
These were soooo good and fairly easy to make. I was able to get 12 muffins out of the batter. It’s important NOT to mix too much before adding the berries. As I had read reviews prior to making , I used smaller amounts of the flour and sugar for the topping. Still had some left over. Will definitely make these again!
Wonderful muffins. They were moist and delicious. I used extremely ripe bananas and doubled the recipe but only used 5 bananas. I didn't have walnuts , so I substituted fresh blueberries that I had on hand and added a couple spoons of mayonnaise. Turned out perfect and the family loves them.
I omitted the nuts because I particularly don’t like them, and I thought the dough was too dense so I added 3 tablespoons of plain yogurt and I love the result 😃
I followed the recipe to the T. I used 3 large bananas and my tupperware silicone muffin moulds. I also cooked these @170°C for 20 minutes. They came out brilliantly. Plenty of flavour. Nice and crispy top. If anything I would probably take it out a couple minutes early. But definitely make these again.
Easy to make only needing basic equipment. I substituted Bread Flour for the All Purpose because I was out of AP.
These are delicious. I actually put some dark choc chips in mine and they are so good!
First time making and will always make these!! I added chopped walnuts in and on top and also quarter cup of blueberries inside. So moist and delicious!
Really, really ripe bananas are the key. Assemble the ingredients prior to embarking on this journey. You will be rewarded. Check them at 15 minutes, as ovens differ in heating properties.
These muffins were perfect - my husband ate 4 of them in 5 minutes! My picky 5 and 7 yr old loved them too. I put chocolate chips in instead of walnuts - YUM!!
Excellent! I only had 2 bananas so I added some applesauce and 1/3 cup of chocolate chips. I also baked them for 23 minutes instead of 20.
This is a fantastic recipe! I doubled it, added an extra egg and about 3/4 cup blueberries and used probably 8 - 10 bananas. I froze some super ripe ones a while back and decided to use them all, plus the ones ripening on the counter. Combining dry and wet ingredients until just barely combined contributed to the moistness of these muffins. Also, I used two large muffin tins, so with a double recipe ended up with 12 large muffins. Definitely a keeper!!!
These were the best banana muffins I've ever had ! I made a few very minor changes: I used only 1/4 c. white sugar---and used Splenda for Baking instead of both the white and brown sugar the second time I made them. Perfect amount of sweetness. I also added 1/2 c. chopped walnuts one time, and the next time I made them, I added 1/2 c. mini semi sweet chocolate chips instead of nuts. Yum !
This recipe is great! I followed it exactly and my husband can’t get enough of them ... I however am gluten free so I will never know the delight of this great recipe
Truly exceptional. Very moist with rich flavor. Made them 3 times the first week. Family loves them.
These are amazing! I only had 2 fairly big bananas but didn't want to waste them, it did not effect the taste. Other than that I made them exactly as the recipe states. This is definitely one I'll keep in my favorites and make again! Texture and flavor are wonderful!
I used over ripe bananas that had been frozen. I made no changes to the recipe and they were delicious!
Beginner level and my wife and 3 kids ate them all while I cleaned up. They kept saying these are amazing make more dad! Thanks!
I have celiac, and have been looking for a good convertible banana muffin recipe. This was perfect!!! 10/10
Left out the walnuts as I have a husband who doesn't care for them. This recipe is quick and easy, everyone loves them.
This recipe is really good. Made these with gluten free flour ( 2c rice flour, 2/3c potato starch, 1/3 tapioca starch, 1 tsp xanthan gum). Used same amount of gf flour as the recipe 1-1/2 cups. Added a tsp vanilla extract. Added 3/4 c choco chips. This made the fluffiest gluten-free muffins I've ever had. Great recipe!
I did the recipe exactly how it goes! Buuuut!! added 4 bananas instead of 3, and added chocolate chips!! I ended up making 21 cupcakes, there moist and delicious!! Super easy to make!! Little enjoyment during this awful Covid-19 virus!! Baking is the new thing!!
I followed the recipe but added a little more walnuts. Will definitely make these again!!
I used white whole wheat flour and added golden raisins and the optional walnuts. They were well received by my healthy eating friends.
I substituted 1/2 cup whole wheat flour for 1/2 cup of the white flour. Also used Toasted chopped Pecans And 4 very ripe small bananas. Made 12 reg size muffins and 4 larger muffins. Very Moist and Delicious.
I had a surplus of bananas to use. Always looking for a new, moist banana recipe. I found this with the addition of nutmeg and cinnamon and thought I would try. Excellent! Followed recipe as is. The spices are so flavourful. This is now our household go to.
