Easy, Quick and Moist Banana Muffins

Written by Kathrin (2 Comments)

A true coffee shop classic, these banana muffins are great for the whole family! And because they freeze well, you can always bake some in advance!

Best Ever Recipe for Banana Muffins

Let's be honest,

If there's one type of muffin that's loved by young and old alike, it's definitely banana muffins. Ok, and chocolate muffins 😉 . But this delicious variant will certainly inspire you. The consistency is simply wonderful - not to mention the intense banana flavor.

Taste and Occasion

Among the classics on my blog have long been many banana recipes. From Banana Bread to the classic sponge cake to the vegan sugar-free banana cake for kids. So banana muffins were still missing.

They are not only the mini version of the other recipes, but consist of a slightly different dough. Don't worry, though, banana muffins are still quick and easy to make. Maybe the ingredient list reads a bit long at first. But this is mainly due to spices and raising agents, which you can replace or omit if necessary.

By the way, this recipe is a great leftover use for overripe, brown bananas 😉 . And you can bake the muffins wonderfully in stock as well as freeze. After thawing, just dust with powdered sugar, glaze with lemon icing or brush with a little butter and then sprinkle them with cinnamon sugar.

Ingredients

There are only absolute basics in it. The recipe's unique feature is that it contains no dairy products in the form of milk, yogurt or buttermilk. What usually belongs in the vast majority of muffin recipes (see also the basic recipe).

But of course, I was thinking about making a banana muffins recipe exactly like this 😉 . Namely, part of the pureed fruit replaces the dairy products. This leads to the fact that the result simply has a particularly intense flavor. Delightful!

How to Make the Banana Muffins

The preparation of the muffins is really simple and quick. First, mash the ripe bananas to a smooth pulp and preheat your oven to 430°F/220°C.

Then, you mix all dry ingredients. After that, beat the eggs with the banana puree and the liquid butter. Now, add the dry ingredients and mix everything together briefly but vigorously. And that's pretty much it!

Lemon Cookie Recipe
Soft & Fluffy Lemon Cookies

Soft, summer lemon cookies: These lemon cookies literally melt in your mouth! A great treat for the whole year.

To make the banana muffins with brown sugar rise really nicely, you can use another little trick (besides using baking soda in the batter). I first bake the juicy banana muffins briefly at quite a high temperature, then turn down the oven and finish them off at 175 degrees.

Moist Banana Muffins

Top Tip

The bananas you use for the muffins should be very ripe. If they are still too yellow, just warm them very briefly in the hot oven.
