Ingredients & Variations

BANANASBananas are definitely a key ingredient in this recipe. Be sure to use ripened or over-ripened bananas as they are sweeter and full of that delicious banana flavor!

You can also use frozen bananas, be sure to defrost them before adding to the batter.

NUTS While optional, nuts are a great addition to this muffin recipe. Any kind of nut works well, especially walnuts and pecans. They add additional flavor and crunch!

Tip: Lightly toast raw nuts before putting them into recipes. Toasting them keeps them crunchy and enhances their flavor!

OPTIONAL ADD-INS Anything that goes with banana bread will be just as amazing paired with banana bread muffins!

- - Add some oatmeal for a little extra fiber.
  - Mix in chocolate chips for a sweet, dessert-type muffin!
  - Or try coconut, raisins or any kind of dried berry for a fruity twist! Why not a banana blueberry muffin?

Tips for Success

Use ripe bananas with black spots for the best flavor.
Toss add ins with a bit of flour before adding to the batter, this helps so they don't sink to the bottom of the batter.
Do not add extra bananas, this can make the batter too heavy and dense.
Do not overmix batter, it should be mixed just until moistened.
Fill muffin cups only 1/2 to 2/3 full.
Do not overbake, ovens can vary so be sure to check muffins a few minutes before they should be done. If a toothpick comes out clean, they are done.
