Best Banana Muffins

BEST BANANA MUFFINS — Based on my grandmother’s banana bread recipe, these tried and true muffins are loaded with banana flavor. They really are the best!

I can’t tell you how many banana muffin recipes I’ve tried. The thing is, I have a fabulous banana bread recipe from my grandma that with a few adjustments makes the Best Banana Muffins, but I always think I’m going to find something better. 

Last time I tried a new banana muffin recipe my oldest son said, “Mom, don’t you have that good recipe of your grandma’s? That’s the best one. It has the best banana flavor.” 

So there you have it. I decided it was finally time to stop searching for something better and share the Best Banana Muffins with you.

Always trust your grandma when it comes to tried and true recipes. Lesson learned. Of course, this recipe makes the best banana bread too.

I’ve tried so many different ways to use up my over-ripe bananas, but I always come back to this recipe because my family loves it, and it never fails me.

As the saying goes–don’t fix what’s not broken! I hope you love my grandmas banana bread/muffin recipe as much as we do. Enjoy!
