Move over banana bread (as lovely as you are) Here’s a perfect Easy Banana Muffins recipe, made extra special and delicious with added chocolate chips! (plenty of them)

Easy Banana Muffins for the kids to make

They really are delicious and I haven’t met a child or adult who doesn’t like them

The process of making them is so simple – so teach the kids to make them? Why not?

They are so easy you can get the kids to make them themselves eventually, maybe supervise closely the first time but once they get the hang of it they’re away! (just make sure if they are little you are there for the oven bit….

I think it’s so important to teach our kids how to cook, and they love it

There may be a messy kitchen at the end (ha ha) – but who cares anyway really

What to do with over-ripened bananas?

These muffins are a perfect way to use up those over ripened bananas that lurk in tree fruit bowl – avoided by everyone…

I have a Banana Loaf Cake that is also really good, however it has dates and walnuts in the recipe and my little ones prefer their banana cakes without the fancy stuff.

So these are perfect

How do I mash my bananas?

Simply pop your peeled, over-ripened bananas in a bowl and squish with a fork – it is very easy when they are ripe

What else can I add to my Quick Banana Muffins recipe?

Oooo so many things

How about:

White chocolate Chips
Dark Chocolate chips
Pecans
Dates
Spices, cinnamon, all spice, etc
A topping of Biscoff speed
A topping of Nutella Spread
Warm them up with custard? (banana Pudding 🙂 )

Oh I could go on and on…..

Let me know what you try

What size Banana Muffins? Muffin Cases….

You will see from the below the recipe makes 12 standard sized muffins theses take approx 13-15 minutes to bake

I like mine a little bigger so I used slightly larger muffin cases and made 9 – these take 15-17 minutes to bake

It really is up to you – just check the bake, they should be golden and spring back when touched

Just fill the cases whatever the size 3/4 full with batter, before they go in the oven

I like this style as they are a little more sturdy than the paper ones – you can grab them on Amazon 🙂

How long will my Easy & Quick Banana Muffins last?

Well ion my house not long, my lot like to eat them warm out the oven

However if you pop them in an airtight tin, I’d say about 3 days

Can I freeze my Banana Muffins?

They also freeze well too, make sure they are wrapped really well and that you defrost at room temperature before consumption

Maximum 3 months in the freezer
