Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This Banana Muffins Recipe yields moist, tender muffins that are scented of vanilla, cinnamon, and banana with a delicious brown sugar oat crumble topping. They’re the perfect thing to make when you have just one banana to use up!

Banana Muffins

I love bananas, but I don’t typically eat them as-is. Bananas are one of those fruits that I don’t usually buy until I need them for a specific recipe.

And then for some reason I’m inevitably left with a couple extra bananas!

Smoothies are the obvious choice when you have leftover bananas to use up. Banana blends up smooth and creamy, and also act as a thickener.

But you’d be surprised that one banana is all it takes to make this small batch Banana Muffins Recipe with Crumble Topping!

These muffins have a moist, tender crumb and a delicious cinnamon, vanilla, and banana aroma. It only takes a couple minutes to mix up the buttery brown sugar and oat crumble topping, and it really makes these muffins feel special. A drizzle of icing on top is optional, and makes these muffins suitable for breakfast or dessert.

This batch makes eight muffins so you’re not stuck with a huge batch. It’s perfect for a weekend brunch, or to whip up on the weekend for grab-and-go breakfasts during the week.

Banana Muffins Recipe FAQs

Can I Use Unripe Bananas to Bake Bread or Muffins?

No, unripe bananas don’t work well for baking banana bread or muffins.

When bananas are ripe, they have a higher moisture and sugar content, which results in banana bread or muffins with better taste and texture.

However, if you don’t have ripe bananas on hand, you can leave the peels on and blacken them in a 300F oven for 30 to 40 minutes. You can read more about this method of how to ripen bananas in the oven on The Kitchn.

Should I Refrigerate Banana Muffins?

No, Banana Muffins, like Banana Bread, dries out quickly if stored in the fridge. I recommend storing these muffins covered at room temperature for up to 4 days. They’ll probably be gone long before then though!

I finally got to cross off a huge item on my to-do I finally got to cross off a huge item on my to-do list! Do you remember my other blog Healthy Sweet Eats? Until today, the last time I posted there was February 2020! I even had content ready, recipes developed and photographed, and I have absolutely no excuse for myself lol. 😱🙈😅

More than just wanting to get back into posting regularly there, I wanted to give that space a fresh new look! I'm pretty thrilled that today it's done (with just a couple very minor decorative tweaks I still want to make). 💗

Not only does Healthy Sweet Eats have a fresh new face, but today I shared my recipe for #sugarfree Berry Sorbet 🍓🫐🍒, which uses frozen berries and comes together in just 5 minutes for the most delicious dose of antioxidants I've ever had.

Take a peek at the redesign and let me know what you think! 😘 Find this recipe on my other blog Healthy Sweet Eats (the direct link is in my link tree in my profile) --> https://www.healthysweeteats.com/sugar-free-berry-sorbet-recipe/

This year I made a new charoset recipe for tonight This year I made a new charoset recipe for tonight’s #seder! In addition to apple, nuts, and cinnamon, it’s heavy on the apricot and I think it’s my favorite version yet. 🥰 And by that I mean it’s good enough to enjoy year-round and not just save for #passover. I will definitely be sharing the recipe on my blog soon. 😘 #chagsemeach #pesach #pesach2021 #dayenu #foodstyling #foodphotography
This really isn't the prettiest dish. 🙈 But it' This really isn't the prettiest dish. 🙈 But it's nourishing and uncomplicated, mostly cabbage and ground beef and a few other veggies along with a couple spices. It's #paleo and easy to make #lowcarb and #ketofriendly. And it doesn't need a lot of time; just 10 minutes of prep time and 20 minutes to cook. The best part is, it's so much more delicious than you might think! What it lacks in looks, it definitely makes up for in other ways. 🥰 Find my Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls recipe on @anediblemosaic --> https://www.anediblemosaic.com/unstuffed-cabbage-rolls-recipe/

These are supposed to be French Crullers, but as y These are supposed to be French Crullers, but as you can see they look nothing like they're supposed to! 🙈😁 I'd call the recipe a flop in that sense, except for 2 things: 1) they still taste great (swipe through to the last photo showing their pillow-y interior), and 2) I made them on a Zoom call together with my dear friend Evelyene (@cultureatz). Eve and I virtually met around the time we both started blogging (she lives in Montreal), which was over a decade ago (it's crazy to think how fast time flies!).

When we first met in real life last year before the pandemic hit, it was an instant connection. It was lots of laughs, local exploration, good food, great conversation, and she even brought me bagels from her hometown! She's a kindred soul. 🥰❤️ Since then we've stayed connected and have spent a few afternoons cooking together. We've made Russian dumplings called Pelmeni and we had a holiday cake-off where I made a Gingerbread Roll Cake and Eve made a Pumpkin Roll Cake.

She and I used the same recipe for French Crullers and it didn't work as expected for either of us (just wait until you see how Evelyne's turned out, they're completely different from mine!), but still I'd call it a success.

I think this delicious disaster deserves to be commemorated, so I wanted to style and photograph them. Even though the prop styling is minimal, it's an eclectic grouping:

1) Background: Scrap marble at a floor tile store in Jacksonville, Florida. The lady was awesome, she told me to look around and take any scrap tile I could use.
2) Cake stand (swipe through to see it better): I got this at my favorite ceramics store in Paris, France called @astierdevillatte in May 2015.
3) Espresso cups: Seller @madhouseceramics on @etsy.
4) Small spoons: Seller Ann Cutting from ceramicpix on @etsy.
5) Espresso: My favorite espresso @lavazzausa.
