How to Make Banana Muffins

Let’s make these ultra-soft muffins together.

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your muffin tray with paper liners.

Step 2: Mash the Bananas

In a bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. The riper they are, the softer and sweeter your muffins will be.

Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients

Whisk in the eggs and honey until the mixture is smooth and slightly fluffy.

Step 4: Add Dry Ingredients

Add the flour and baking powder. Stir gently until just combined—don’t overmix, or the muffins will lose their softness.

Step 5: Bake

Scoop the batter into muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden and set in the center.

Step 6: Cool & Enjoy

Let them cool slightly before eating… but honestly, warm muffins are a whole experience

What to Serve with Banana Muffins

These muffins are amazing on their own, but even better with:

  • A spread of peanut butter or butter
  • A drizzle of honey
  • A cup of coffee or tea
  • Fresh fruit on the side

Tips for Making It Perfect

  • Use very ripe bananas for best flavor and texture
  • Do not overmix the batter—keep it light
  • Check early so they stay soft and moist
  • Let them rest for a few minutes before eating

Storage Instructions

  • Room temperature: 2–3 days in airtight container
  • Refrigerator: Up to 5 days
  • Freezer: Up to 2 months (reheat before serving)
