Sooner or later, we all try baking with bananas. Whether it’s a delicious Banana Loaf Bread or a Creamy Delicious Banana Cake, we all love making one. Personally, I always prefer an easy recipe I know my family will love and appreciate.
These Banana Nut Muffins are flavorful, easy to make, and use fewer ingredients than other muffin recipes. It might seem hard to believe, but you’ll discover why once you taste them!
Additionally, the brown sugar adds a terrific level of richness as well. You can use any nuts you like as well. I love Roasted Pecans only because I had them on hand. You can use walnuts as well and even add raisins or any dried fruit, too!
If you have some overripe bananas, don’t throw them out! Instead, you need to make these delicious Banana Nut Muffins! With all this extra time we have on our hands, baking is the perfect and delightful thing to do!

These are the best banana nut muffins I have EVER had! I will be making these often – a good reason to buy a bunch of bananas instead of the 1 or 2 that I will eat. I will admit that I didn’t do the two bananas with chunks -1 just plopped all 4 into the mixer. I like green bananas (or close thereto) so I wasn’t sure I would like to bite into a chunk of very, very ripe banana. Thanks for the recipe!
Perfect For Breakfast, Dessert, Or Anytime!
You can enjoy them for breakfast or as a quick snack after dinner. Either way, these Banana Nut Muffins are perfect for any occasion. I love a dollop of butter on them, too.
With this easy recipe, I yielded about 18 muffins. I prefer smaller muffins, so I didn’t fill up the Cupcake Muffin Baking Pan too high. Typically, you can bake them for about 18-19 minutes. I love golden brown edges on my muffins, so I went for the full 19 minutes.
I made a small adjustment to the original recipe by adding more pecans. We love the taste of nuts, especially in baked goods! That’s what’s nice about this recipe. You can tweak it any way you like!
Banana Nut Muffins
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 overripe bananas
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cup roasted pecans, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and lightly butter 2 muffin tins.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside. Mash 2 of the bananas with a fork in a small bowl so they still have a bit of texture. With an electric mixer fitted with a wire whisk, whip the remaining bananas and sugar together like you mean it, for a good 3 minutes. Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla and beat well, scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice. Mix in the dry ingredients just until incorporated. Fold in the nuts and the mashed bananas with a rubber spatula. Spoon the batter into the muffin tins to fill them about halfway. Give them a rap on the counter to get any air bubbles out.
- Bake until a toothpick stuck in the muffins comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes before turning the muffins out. Serve warm or at room temperature.
If you love golden edges, bake these Banana Nut Muffins for 19 minutes or so. At the 16-minute mark, stick a toothpick in them to see if they look fully cooked inside.
I hope you enjoy these Banana Nut Muffins as much as we did. The kids will love them, too!
