These cute as a button Banana Bread Muffins are a refreshing way to use up overripe bananas you can’t bear to throw away. The dense banana infused batter has a depth of flavor from just a hint of cinnamon added to the mix. They bake in a snap finishing with a gorgeous golden exterior and fluffy in the middle texture. They’re easy-to-prepare and make a cuppa tea or java sing. Serve them any time of day you’re in the mood for a sweet homemade treat with no fancy ingredients required.

Banana Bread Muffins

I love how changing the shape of something changes the way people look at it. Muffins have to be round, right? Not always however, this recipe will work in a standard muffin tin, too. Being a frugal girl at heart it makes me feel warm and fuzzy when I get the opportunity to use as an ingredient in a recipe bananas that are overripe and not suitable for much else. While my boys do love eating bananas as is, invariably a few will be left behind.

Banana Bread Muffins

Overripe Bananas are a Baking Opportunity

Overripe bananas give me all the reason I need to whip-up a loaf of  banana bread, or another family favorite, my chocolate chip peanut butter banana cake. There’s nothing better than homemade goodies ready to be enjoyed fresh from the oven and it always brings the family running to the kitchen. Don’t ever let rip bananas go to waste, you may also like to checkout this collection of  18 Creative Ways To Use Overripe Bananas and Blueberry Banana Bread from Dishes Dinners and Desserts for more baking inspiration.

    Delicious! Subtitled the sugar for maple syrup and use whole meal flour. I’m also added some blueberries

    Super easy to put together, and they smell like they will be a great quarantine treat for my kiddos! I was actually able to get 16 standard cupcake size muffins out of it! Yay!

      Hi Jennifer, I love you were able to stretch the batter a bit. My square muffin pan openings are a little bit larger, hence the difference. These freeze like a dream, too. Stay well!
