I love banana bread but banana muffins is easy and quick to make, no need to wait for slicing you can enjoy warm muffins just like hubby loves. This is my family favorite that I bake it often. In spite of it being egg less these muffins turn out so good. These Banana Muffins turn out soft and moist with perfect sweetness, this is hard to resist with just one. These banana muffins are a perfect way to finish up overripe bananas. This recipe is such a keeper that it works even with whole wheat flour and no one can go wrong, even beginners in baking can try. It does not include fancy ingredients just the basic staples that we find in our kitchen. Vanilla, banana and walnuts are a match made in heaven so do add it.

Hubby and kids tasted these muffins and just loved it that they wanted another batch the next day itself , yes its kind of addictive. Soft, moist with a mild vanilla flavor combined with banana and crunch from walnuts tastes out of the world. Though vanilla essence is not given in the original recipe I recommend adding it. This is one of the oldest recipes that I’ve tried and still this is my keeper for banana muffins as I have tried many variations with it : replaced oil with butter, replaced flour with wheat flour, added chocolate chips, tried baking it in a cake tin etc.
How to choose banana
Choose banana that is fully ripened. You can choose any variety of banana that is sweet and moist. If using small banana variety you need to add at least 4 bananas. This long Moris variety banana tastes best for eating and also for muffin recipes so I always use this for milkshakes, cake recipes etc.

Banana – Chose ripe banana that is easy to mash. You can choose to mash it up fully or have it chunky. I have used 2 long variety yellow banana we call it Moris.

Leavening – Baking powder is added for the muffins to rise up and baking soda for the softness and texture. Vanilla – I have added vanilla essence, you can add vanilla powder or paste too.

Expert Tips
I have tried with the same measurement with 1/8 cup of oil and 1/8 cup of milk instead of full 1/4 cup oil and the muffins turned out good. You can even sprinkle chopped nuts on top if you wish. I find the nuts being slightly burnt after baking making it bitter so I don’t prefer adding. If adding add big chopped pieces so that they don’t burn while baking. Do not over mix the batter, muffins may turn hard. You can use any type of banana, I used Moris yellow variety. Adjust sugar according to the banana variety you choose. If you reduce banana the muffins were become a bit dry. The muffins raise up well in the first 15 minutes of baking itself. For the above mentioned measurement I got 6 medium sized muffins. These muffins keeps well for 1 day in room temperature and in fridge for 2 days. Do not skip adding walnuts the crunchiness is too good with the banana flavor.
Serving & Storage
Banana Muffins are a great choice for breakfast or as an anytime snack. They keep well for 1 day in room temperature and 2 days in fridge. But I bet it won’t last that long. Store it in a dry airtight container and enjoy.
