Banana Nut Muffins.  Quick, easy, moist & full of flavor.  These delicious muffins are one of my all time favorites – soon to be yours, too!

I have these Banana Nut Muffins baking in the oven, right now this very moment.  Let me say…the aroma is absolutely intoxicating!  I’m practically floating thru the house into the kitchen following the scent trail.  (There was a cartoon character who used to do that.  For the life of me, I can’t remember who it was!?)

There are many recipes that are so normal, so common, that at times they get overlooked.  The basics.  Shall we go back to basics for a bit?

The basics shouldn’t be overlooked.  These recipes are foundations that can be built upon with countless variations.  Switch up fruits, fats, flours – the possibilities are endless.

I make these banana nut muffins often.  They go together quickly, are moist, delicious, full of flavor and stay fresh for days.  They’re great for breakfast, dessert or a sweet snack.  

I hear muffins like this freeze well, but they never last long enough to make it to the freezer.

These muffins take just minutes to put together and 25 minutes to bake.  Probably takes less time & effort to bake a batch then it would to get dressed and head out to a bakery and buy a few.  How’s that for keeping it simple?

Onto nuts – to toast or not to toast.  Really, this all depends on your tastes and what you are making.  A lot of people will insist that it’s a must for the best flavor – but that just isn’t always so….

I toasted the walnuts for these muffins, this time.  Sometimes I don’t – really, the sprinkling of walnuts on top of the muffins get toasted nicely without any extra effort.  More “for instances” you say…?  I would toast macadamia nuts in a cookie but wouldn’t toast walnuts in a Turkish walnut cake.  See – it’s all in your preferences.

I hope you enjoy these muffins.  Quick, simple and delicious – it’s everything you want in a Banana Nut Muffin!

          Hi Jodie!
          I’m sure you can make them in a jumbo muffin pan. Start checking them at 25 minutes – I’d guess they’d bake 25 – 30 minutes – a toothpick should come out clean in the center.
          Enjoy ♥

    This look completely delicious, Amanda! I can taste them now! I wonder if the cartoon character you’re thinking about is Garfield with the lasagna? Not 100% sure, though. The walnuts on top of these is perfect. I could eat these everyday for breakfast I’m sure. Pinned!

    Muffins are one of my favorite quick breads to make. These muffins are beautiful and I love that you used whole wheat flour in the recipe. That’s right up my alley. I’ve been wanting to grind my own wheat flour for a while now, so I’ll be trying that soon. I stumbled upon a blog post saying how you can grind wheat berries in a coffee grinder. Since my mom gave me one recently I think I’ll try it out.

      Thanks so much, Neeli. I love the texture & flavor that a bit of whole wheat flour gives to muffins. I’ve never tried to grind my own flour but am definitely interested in it. I can’t wait to hear how it turns out for you! I burned up my coffee grinder, grinding something other than coffee beans – but I can’t remember what it was 🙁

        That’s too funny about your coffee grinder. Last night I made a little oat flour with the coffee grinder. I used oat groats and was happy that it worked.

    You got me stumped on the cartoon character, but Garfield does sound vaguely familiar. Banana bread and muffins do smell heavenly when they are baking. These muffins look divine!! I’ve been throwing overripe bananas out because I’m too lazy to do anything with them, but I need to be making these muffins instead!

      I’m still searching for that Garfield pic 🙂 Thanks, we love these muffins. They’re so delicious, and almost too easy to bake – so I bake them often and share 🙂 Ohhhh…overripe bananas never go to waste in my house. Actually, I don’t get a chance to bake with them as I’d like to – turns out bananas are my chickens favorite treats. I buy ripe bananas buy the half bushel for $1.25 and the majority of them always end up going to my sweet chickies 🙂

    I’m getting ready to try these for a bake sale! Just wanted to say, never throw your over ripe bananas away! Freeze them! You can toss the whole banana, in the peel, into a freezer bag, and when you need one or two, just defrost in your microwave. Works perfect. That’s what I’ll be using today.

    I love new variations of favorites that I make all the time. I have been using a recipe from a little lady from Hawaii for years to make my classical Banana Bread.

    I had a bunch of bananas and thought I would make muffins instead. I searched Google, and your recipe had a 5 * rating. I did my due diligence and read the comments.

    So I am one of those home cooks/bakers, that usually never messes up a recipe. I loved that yours had whole wheat flour, and I was sold. So back to my MAJOR mess up. I mix up the batter, top them with chopped pecans (walnuts in the batter) and bake them. At the same time I am putting together ingredients to make Quiche Lorraine. Doung too much, after I had taken the muffins out of the oven, I realized I had forgot to add one of the ingredients, the melted butter. In a panic, I cut in to one of my muffins, and frankly, they tasted just fine. Very moist, just not the texture of a normal muffin. So if you want to try it, just think that you are cutting out a huge calorie and fat content, and makes them a little healthier!

      Hi Jacklyn!
      I’ve never tried subbing sour cream for milk in this recipe, but usually when I do sub it in a muffin or scone I reduce the amount of butter.
      Were your bananas nice and ripe? Under ripe bananas aren’t sweet enough for baking. I never use banana extract, but I know some people who don’t like brown spotted bananas sometimes add it to their banana baked goods 🙂
      Hope this helps! Thanks for stopping by 🙂

      Hi Carli!
      You can use either or in any recipe that calls for brown sugar – but the light brown sugar doesn’t have as much molasses flavor as the dark sugar.

I have never used whole wheat flour before, so I am excited about trying this recipe! My 12 year old son will be in the kitchen helping bake these! He is homeschooled, so I always try to have him learn real life lessons as much as possible, and cooking is always one of his favorites! Can’t wait for my house to smell banana nut declicious!

      Whole wheat flour is a great ingredient! You can definitely start adding it into more of your baked goods – it’s easy to sub half of it for all-purpose flour in muffins & quick breads when starting out!

    Hi there! LOVE these muffins! I’ve made them countless times, and they are always a major hit! I was just wondering if there was any way to use this recipe and put the batter in 4 mini loaf pans rather than a muffin tin. Suggestions?

      Hi Jenna!
      You could easily use mini loaf pans – you’ll just have to keep an eye on them. Same temp – but add some additional baking time. Maybe 25 – 30 minutes and until golden brown & toothpick comes out clean.
      Hope this helps ♥

    Can I make them gluten free and use gluten free flour mixture instead of whole wheat?

    Everyone loved these! I made 6 of them in a large muffin pan. Can you give me a tip on how to adjust the baking time? I let them go 26 minutes and then used a cake tester every couple of minute until it came out clean. That’s a hassle.

    Made these today (45 minutes ago) and they are delicious! The bananas were not too ripe and maybe the reason why they didn’t turn out sweeter. However, delicious and will definitely make them again!

    I found your blog using the Google search engine, since I have a taste for banana nut muffins. But, here’s the problem. I only have three large bananas and pecans, so I was wondering if I can use both ingredients to make this amazing recipe? Thank you so much, Amanda!! 🙂

    Tried these tonight on a whim. And let me just say theses are delish! I Rarely follow recipes exactly but this one I did pretty dang close with two small exceptions…. first extra cinnamon because yah know it’s awesome. Second I used spelt whole wheat flour because I love it also it was probably a little closer to 3/4 c spelt since the spelt cooks slightly different than regular flour. I love that these have significantly less sugar than the typical recipe. and I think I will even try subbing out some of the sugar for honey next time just to see how it goes. Thanks for the great recipe… oh and incase anyone cares or tracks I got 15 muffins and calculated these to be about 213 cal per muffin.

    I just made these muffins and as I am typing this review, I am eating them. These were by far the BEST, absolute BEST banana nut muffins I have ever tasted outside of buying them from the bakery. Maybe even better than the better. It had the right amount of sweetness, they were so moist and delicious. I absolutely loved them. I will be pinning this recipe to my Pinterest and saving this website to make these again.

    This may be the cartoon character you are thinking of, but you are far, far younger than I am. It’s the one I thought of and then looked for on line.

    These muffins are heaven, btw! I think I’ll try mixing blueberries with the bananas next time, for fun.

    I made these muffins and they were delicious!! I love that there’s some whole grain flour in them. I actually added some milled flaxseeds to make them even more nutritious for my kids. My kids devoured them and now they want more :). I also used half butter and half canola oil because i didn’t have enough butter in the fridge, and nobody could tell the difference. thank you for a great recipe!

    Amanda, I really love this recipe. Especially using the whole wheat flour. I changed it up a little to get more good fats and protein in for my grandkids. I added 1/2 cup flax seed and replaced walnuts with roasted sunflower seeds. Not quite the same, but I try every way I can to disguise good nutrition for my picky grands.
    Thank you

    I’ve lost a favourite “everything-muffin” recipe of mine, but the base was very similar to this. So I whipped these up and added raisins, apples and coconut flakes. Left the egg out too, banana does the job. Perfection, thank you.

    I’ve been on the hunt for a great banana nut recipe – I shall hunt no longer! This recipe is wonderful! My husband has already eaten 2, and he usually doesn’t eat muffins. LOL I did have one alteration, which really added to the banana flavor, I think. I had 4 overripe bananas, I used all 4 (recipe calls for 3). The muffins are extremely moist and extremely flavorful. Thank you so much for sharing!
