Easy Banana Muffins

Recipe Description

Soft and tasty, my Banana Muffins are sure to become a family favorite! If you’re a fan of banana bread, you’re sure to love this muffin version. My kids go crazy for these and they are a perfect addition to the school lunchbox. Bake on Sunday, store in an airtight container and they will last all week. Not only that, but the banana flavor tends to develop over time, so it will be even stronger and more pronounced after a few days!

You’ll notice there’s no butter or oil. Instead I use sour cream, which gives it a super light and airy texture.

This recipe is a simple one and the whole thing takes just 30 minutes from start to finish. So let’s get baking!

To make Banana Muffins, you will need the following ingredients:

Amazing! These muffins were a hit at our Sunday brunch. My kids were so excited to eat them. They're light and fluffy, and the banana flavor is just perfect. I had some ripe bananas that needed to be used, and now, it's a family classic. Definitely make again!

Delicious muffin magic! I baked these on a rainy Sunday while my kids played in the living room. They loved helping mash the bananas. These muffins vanished quickly! Perfect for breakfast.
