Easy Banana Bread Muffins
These banana bread muffins are soft, moist, and perfect for using up ripe bananas. They taste amazing on their own or with mix-ins like chocolate chips, just like my kids favorite chocolate chip banana bread.
Like my easy banana bread, this recipe comes together in just one bowl, great for busy mornings or beginner bakers. You might also like my zucchini banana bread muffins, this bran muffin recipe or mini banana muffins!
