Looking for a simple and delicious banana muffin recipe? Look no further! This is a very basic and quick recipe that produces great tasting muffins. What busy mom doesn’t love that combo?
They freeze really well too. However, my family usually eats them up to fast to put any in the freezer. I need to remember that next time I make them and double the recipe.

I have another Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin recipe I love. I posted it last year on The Mother Huddle. It has a few not so basic ingredients, but is a little healthier. Have a look. They are both AWESOME recipes!!!
If you are more of a blueberry muffin kind of person, try these No-Fail Blueberry Muffins.
Keep it Real!!!

Hi, thanks for sharing the recipe.
I just wanted to ask what do you mean by “freeze well”?
Do you mean freeze the mixture or freeze the baked muffins?
Please advise, thanks.
Freeze the cooked muffins. Put them in a air tight bag and pull them out when you want one. They can stay fresh in the freezer for up to two months.
Banana chocolate chip muffins were yummy!! Mom❤️
So glad you made them mom! Yay!
Love this recipe, was wondering what’s best way to cut butter , thinking about either in half or all & use applesauce? What do u think?
You should still get great results if you do half butter and half applesauce. You could even go a little more like 40/60. Another option would be to try using yogurt or low-fat sour cream in place of some of the butter. I also like to use half coconut oil sometimes. 🙂 Hope that helps.
I forgot to mention that sometimes cutting the fat makes the muffins stick to the wrappers. When I cut out a lot of fat in muffin recipes I cook them directly in the tins to avoid losing so much of the muffin when it sticks badly to the wrapper. Just be sure to generously spray tins with cooking spray.
