This recipe is the best I've found for Banana muffins just watch not to overbake them. They come out nice and moist. they also freeze well for later use. I have put different additions in them over the years instead of walnuts, like peanut butter chips or chocolate chips, pecans and peanuts.

12 muffins (change servings and units)

These banana muffins were excellent! So moist and didn't dry out like so many muffin recipes do over time. I added 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and although I love walnuts in my banana muffins, I didn't have any on hand, so I added 1/2 cup chocolate chips instead. I will definitely be making these again.

    These were very good and moist and I didn't have to wait an hour for a loaf to cook in the oven. I thought they could have been a little sweeter so next time I might try adding an extra 1/4 - 1/2 cup of sugar, but that's just my taste. I let my mix sit for about 15 min. or so and the banana flavor really shined through. Great way for me to use up some buttermilk too. Thanks for a yummy and easy recipe - will make again.

    I've finally found the perfect banana muffin recipe! These bake up so nice, slightly crispy on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside. I love it that there's no oil in the recipe, like so many other banana, zucchini, carrot, etc., recipes. I did not add the walnuts but next time I will (I made these mainly for my daughter, who hates nuts of all types). Good instructions, very easy and quick, I had muffins within an hour of deciding to make them because of 2 very ripe bananas. I will definitely make these again. Thanks Orenda and please post some more recipes!

    Wonderful light muffins. The trick to strong banana flavor is to make sure you have very very ripe bananas. I also used 1/2 cup of oil because I didn't have enough butter. I also added about 2 T. candied ginger, chopped small. The recipe made 12 regular and 12 mini muffins.
