Banana Muffins are a firm favourite in our house and the perfect way to use up bananas that are a little over ripe. I love this recipe because it is so versatile and you can add in additions as you please. It’s the perfect spin on classic banana bread.
Baked in just under 30 minutes, these banana muffins are the perfect teatime or lunchbox treat. Add in some nuts and you have a healthy version or go with decadent chocolate chips for an indulgent treat. I normally divide my mixture into two and do half and half. You could even add in some blueberries or strawberries to make a banana berry muffin! YUM YUM!
Some tips when it comes to making Banana Muffins:
- Don’t skimp on your butter
