Banana Muffins for Breakfast
I love banana bread, but sometimes, it’s easier to enjoy a banana muffin. They are perfectly portioned and perfect on the go. And breakfast made easy.
Enjoying banana bread is also a good idea to have bananas all day long. But with or without nuts is the question. Or with cream cheese?

How Ripe Should Bananas Be For Banana Nut Muffins?
My personal preference is they should be ripe enough that you would eat them. And not so ripe that you would not eat them. The bananas should also be easily enough to peel, and not ooze out of the peel.
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
