Banana Bread Muffins

Wisps of baked goods fill the air as this home made classic takes on a new shape

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings 12 muffins

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 cup mashed bananas (3 large)
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (or nuts if you're a heathen)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp vanilla (the good vanilla)
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 350F

  2. Grease muffin pan(s) with pam (I use two at a time to cut down on cook time)

  3. Mix sugar, bananas, oil, and eggs in a large bowl with a wooden spoon.  Once combined, add the dry ingredients and mix until incorporated. 

  4. Fill each cup of the muffin pans about 3/4 full using a spoon.

  5. Bake for 25 minutes (or until golden brown on the top) check for doneness by inserting a toothpick through the top of one of the muffins.  If it comes out clean, they are ready.   Allow to cool on a cooling rack before enjoying.

Recipe Notes

I usually double this recipe when I make it so that I can bring some to work to share with my coworkers, so feel free to do the same!  Side note: if you've never made banana bread before, you won't want to use fresh, yellow bananas for this recipe.  I usually toss my bananas that have started to turn brown in the freezer, then take them out when I have about 6 in there.  Yes, they will look all brown and nasty, but that's exactly the type of banana you want to use for banana bread!
