  • Reviews

  • “This is a fantastic recipe — only one bowl required, and you can mix it with a spoon!(Those are mycriteria).One note — I mix the dry ingredientstogether before adding them in order to avoidsoapy baking soda clumps.”

  • “These made my house smell just delightful, and tasted even better…very moist.We are taking them on our road trip tomorrow.”

  • “I love Banana muffins and this recipe was GREAT!Easy, moist and delicious!I baked mine at 350F and added applesauce instead of all the butter (more healthy) and it turned out wonderful!Thanks for a great recipe!”

  • “This recipe is great! I substituted 1/2 cup of oats for 1/2 cup of flour and truned them into Easy Banana Oat Muffins. Yummmmmmmmmm. :)JB”

  • “Following tips of others, I used 1/2 c. quick oats for 1/2 c. flour, and 1/4 c. applesauce and 1 1/2 Tbl. melted butter instead of 1/3 c. butter.My husband declared these the best muffins he’s had in a long time.”

  • “Have you ever wanted the taste of banana nut bread in muffin form? If you have, then you’ve come to the right recipe. Great tasting easy muffin recipe and one I’ve always wanted. I have been wanting to make muffins out of banana nut bread recipes but for some reason, they don’t turn out quite right so this recipe was perfect for me.”

  • “Super!!!!!Very moist, not too sweet, and very easy.I, too, subbed 1/2 C. oats for 1/2C flour and cut back on butter with a “blop” of applesauce.A definite keeper.Thanks for sharing, Michelle :)”

  • “Excellent muffin.Nice banana flavor and not too sweet.Baked mine with coarsely chopped walnuts–YUM!”

  • “This muffins were fabulous, they are sooo moist and quick to make. Another tip, I made these muffins with a broken right wrist and had to use my left hand which wasn’t working well to mash the bananas with a fork. So instead I used a potatoe masher, worked so much better and easier.”

  • “I added raisons to this delicious banana .quick easy and tasty Ipassed this recipe on to my daughters there children love them”

  • “This Banana bread wasn’t bad just very plain. When I eat banana bread I like to know it is banana bread. It was very easy to make though. It just isn’t the recipe for me.”

  • “It was yummy and easy fer a redneck like me to make…”

  • “Great recipe! I add a 1/2 c. of wheat bran for added health benefit. A teaspoon each of vanilla and cinnamon boosts the flavor as well!”

  • “Soooo good!! These are nice and simple. I think the one bowl thing is a bonus as well. They are moist and have a good banana flavor. Look forward to adding chocolate chips next time b/c it would complement these muffins well. Another positive, is that they freeze well. Froze half of my batch and had them a few weeks later, were still just as good. Thanks for the recipe! “

  • “Pretty good, but would be better with cinnamon and vanilla”

  • “No fuss easy to make muffins, I too just greased a muffin tray and they turned out perfect! I only used two very large bananas and it was plenty, Thanks for sharing your recipe Michelle.”

  • “These were great! I added 4 bananas instead of 3, I also 1 teaspoon of vanilla to give it that extra kick. It was GREAT, I’ve already ate 2 and on my third.”

  • “These Muffins are great, very easy, nice and flavourful! Need to check them regularly to make sure they don’t overcook otherwise they dry out, thanks for such a quick easy recipe!”

  • “Added 1 more banana,1/4 cup sugar, 2 eggs, 1/4 tsps cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice.Mixed well, divided intoa 4 mini-loaf pan.Baked @375F for 18 min, than for another 18 min @ 350F.”

  • “Perfect! I was looking for a muffin that wasn’t crumbly because my 3 youngest kids still make a big mess when they eat.This was great – moist and held together just right.I also liked the fact that this recipe went by number of bananas not cups of mashed bananas – I never know how many cups of frozen bananas I have but I can glance in the freezer and see the number (I just toss them in there whole when they start to get too brown).These muffins tasted fabulous!I didn’t have any muffin liners so I just greased the muffin tins and they came out just fine. I followed the recipe exactly except I used all whole wheat flour instead of white and added a teaspoon of vanilla and a half teaspoon of cinnamon.I’d highly recommend you double this recipe if you have kids, the muffins will be gone before you know it!”
