I’m so excited to share this super simple but delicious Banana Muffin Recipe with you! These yummy little pieces of banana heaven are perfect for after school snacks, breakfast or to toss in your kiddos lunches. I have tried to get my family to love the really healthy versions of banana muffins, with flax seeds, chia seeds or other kinds of seeds. They don’t love them. Sometimes its just fun to give your family a little treat and they do have bananas in them, so it has a little benefit, right?

Here’s a little pro tip about banana muffins:

You know when your bananas start to turn brown? DON’T TOSS THEM!

Toss them into the freezer instead!

When they turn brown or black, that actually intensifies the banana flavor in them and will be really useful for your incredible banana muffins. I just toss them into the freezer whole, and when its time to make banana muffins, I just put them in a bowl and let them thaw on the kitchen counter. It only takes a few hours for them to soften up, then I use some scissors to cut off the end and squeeze out the super ripe banana goodness. I’m telling you- they are worth saving! It’s also easier on your pocket-book!

I actually had someone laugh at me one time because I had a whole bunch of black bananas in my freezer…they were like, “what are you saving these for????” They couldn’t believe I actually saved them on purpose! I tried not to get offended and I realized that she must not know the wonders of a ripe banana!

Guess who just loves these banana muffins, my new high schooler!! I just had to share that I have a beautiful high schooler! These are perfect for her lunch or after school snack- or when all of her crazy friends come over and are “starving!”. These make the house smell amazing and the kiddos feel loved. These are perfect with or without butter.
