Banana Muffins

I love banana bread, but sometimes, it’s easier to enjoy a banana  muffin. They are perfectly portioned and perfect on the go.

If you have ripe bananas, its time to make muffins or freeze the bananas until you are ready to make delicious muffins.

Muffin Tips:

  • The muffins will rise so don’t over fill unless you want huge muffins
  • If you have people who don’t like nuts, you can use half the batch without; then add the nuts to the rest of the batter and mark them with nuts on the top to tell the difference
  • Freeze the muffins and put them in the microwave to eat and enjoy
  • We use 2-3 bananas versus measuring out the exact amount of banana
  • Serve with a bat of butter and warmed in the microwave
  • You can still enjoy your banana bread too
