Bake 20 minutes, or until lightly browned. Filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, and juice until well mixed. Add 1/4 cup flour and baking powder, stirring to combine. Sprinkle in some orange zest. Pour into hot baked crust, and bake 25 minutes, or until set. Cool the lemon bars, so you may top with orange citrus glaze. For the Orange-Citrus Glaze: I cut this part of the recipe in half. Add 4 cups of powdered sugar and 1/2 cup orange juice together, so that it combines to make a nice creamy glaze sauce consistency. Add orange zest. When all ingredients are mixed well, pour onto the citrus bars.

Braised Chicken with Mushrooms and Almonds

Braised Chicken with Mushrooms and Almonds Recipe courtesy Anne Burrell, 2008 Prep Time: 40 min Inactive Prep Time: 35 min Cook Time: 1 hr 10 min Level: Intermediate Serves: 4 to 6 servings Ingredients Extra-virgin olive oil 8 chicken thighs Kosher salt 1/2 pound pancetta, cut into 1/2-inch dice 2 large onions, julienned Pinch crushed red pepper flakes 4 cloves garlic, smashed 2 pounds assorted mushrooms, such as shiitake, oyster or cremini, cleaned and sliced 2 cups dry white wine 4 to 6 cups chicken stock 1 bundle thyme 4 bay leaves 1/2 cup whole blanched almonds, toasted Sauteed Haricots Verts, recipe follows Chopped chives, for garnish Directions Coat a large, wide, deep pan with olive oil and bring to a high heat. Pat the chicken skin dry with paper towels and season generously with salt. Add chicken skin side down to the pan. You should hear a big sizzle as the thighs hit the pan. Do not try to move the chicken, the skin will stick itself to the bottom of the pan and will unstick itself when it is ready. If the pan is smoking excessively turn the burner down and continue to cook. When the skin is brown and crispy, turn the chicken over and brown it on the other side. Remove the chicken from the pan and reserve. Lower the heat if you have not already done so and ditch most of the excess fat. Add the pancetta and brown. When the pancetta has started to get brown and crispy add the onions. Season with salt and crushed red pepper and sweat over medium heat for 7 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and saute for 3 to 4 minutes or until they release their juices. Add the wine and reduce by half. Return the chicken to the pan. Add chicken stock to almost cover the chicken. Add the thyme and bay leaves. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer the chicken for 30 to 35 minutes. Add more chicken stock, if needed. While the chicken is cooking puree the almonds in the food processor. Drizzle in a little olive oil while the machine is running to make this a loose paste. Season with salt and reserve. Once the chicken has cooked for 30 to 35 minutes, remove it from the pan and reserve. Taste the sauce for seasoning and stir in the almond puree. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer to thicken the sauce, if needed. The almond puree will help to thicken the sauce and to make it very rich. Serve the chicken over Sauteed Haricots Verts or your favorite green vegetable. Spoon the mushroom almond sauce over and garnish with chopped chives. Sauteed Haricots Verts: 1/2 pound haricots verts (baby string beans), stem ends removed Extra-virgin olive oil 2 garlic cloves, smashed Pinch crushed red pepper flakes Kosher salt Bring a large pot of well salted water to a boil. Set up a bowl of well salted ice water for shocking. Add the beans to the boiling water and cook until the beans are tender but still toothsome about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the boiling water and place immediately into the salted ice water. Once the beans are cool, remove them from the water and set aside until ready to use. Coat a large saute pan with olive oil. Add the garlic and the crushed red pepper and bring to a medium-high heat. When the garlic has become golden and very aromatic, remove it and discard. It has fulfilled its garlic destiny. Add the beans to the pan and saute until they are hot and coated with oil. Season with salt and serve right away.

Banana Muffins (makes 12 muffins)

Banana Muffins (makes 12 muffins) 3 or 4 Large bananas, mashed (the more bananas the moister, so I use 4) 1/2 cup white sugar (original recipe calls for 1 cup, but I don’t like them too sweet) 1 slightly beaten egg 1/3 cup melted margarine or butter 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 cups flour Mix the mashed banana, sugar, egg and margarine together. Set aside. In a separate bowl, mix together baking soda, baking powder, salt and flour. Mix wet and dry ingredients all together, being careful not to over-stir! Pour into greased muffin tins, and bake in 350 degrees oven for approximately 20 minutes. Enjoy! *These are much more flavourful the next day, and they freeze very nicely too! *Also, if you like walnuts, you can throw a handful of those in there as well for some added flavour and texture, or try adding chocolate chips, or better yet, BOTH! Yum UPDATE: If you like these banana muffins, try my Carrot Cake Recipe (they can also be made into muffins!) Delish! YET ANOTHER *UPDATE*: I just tried substituting 1 – 28 ounce can of mashed pumpkin in place of the bananas, doubled the recipe, increased the sugar slightly, added a tsp. of cinnamon, some allspice, 1 1/2 Cups of raisins and voila, super Pumpkin Muffins!!! Wow, are these ever good! Take a look at the comments on this recipe, and see for yourself…you will not be disappointed!

Catherine is going to be posting a lot of different recipes, so I’m sure there will be ones for all levels of cooking ability. [...] On January 16th, 2006 at 9:01 pm Kevin Says: I recently made this recipe, actually. Found it (with only slight modification) on allrecipes.com … EXCELLENT recipe. And it worked perfectly for all of my almost beyond their time bananas! PS. To add a little health to it, I crushed up about a 1/2 cup of wheat chex (since i don’t have any oat bran … blech) and it added a little “crunch” which mixed well with some butter when they’re warm. Yum. On January 20th, 2006 at 3:26 pm Rebecca Says: I’m so baking these with the girls this weekend. On January 21st, 2006 at 7:36 am Cat Says: The best thing is how *easy* they really are! I’ve made this recipe countless times, and I have never had a problem, they’re always great. They also freeze really well, so I often double the recipe, and put most of them in the freezer. I also forgot to mention in the recipe, the riper the bananas, the better! On February 23rd, 2006 at 3:46 am Renee Says: This seems really easy. Goint to try them out right now !

On June 8th, 2006 at 10:14 am rosemarie Says: I used this recipe several times and it comes out the same every time. Recently I did not have any bananas and myhusband asked for his favorite banana muffins so I decidedto try it with apples. I peeled, cored and sliced 6 applesand sauteed them in 1/2 cup of condensed apple juice (I often use condensed apple juice as sweetener in recipies -apple juice boiled down to at least 1/2 the volume). Iused the sauteed apples just as I would have bananas andthe recipe came out perfect. My husband asked me why Ichanged a perfect recipe and then he had to agree that theseapple muffins were just as perfect and delicious as the banana ones.Rosemarie On June 17th, 2006 at 9:44 am Richard Says: Just stumbled upon this recipe this morning, as I had a few brown bananas looking rather sad and unused. Took me all of 10 minutes to prepare, including clean-up time. 20 minutes later, I had some light and fluffy muffins that the whole family loved. Thanks! On June 21st, 2006 at 5:27 pm Jonna Says: This is my FAVORITE recipe for banana muffins and sometimes I throw in a few chocolate chips….yummy! On June 21st, 2006 at 5:31 pm Cat Says: I only wish I could take full credit for the recipe! I altered it *slightly* from the original one by reducing the sugar, and I use 4 bananas instead of 3 as they come out so moist that way…it sure is great though, isn’t it?!? ~Cat On July 1st, 2006 at 12:47 pm Kim Says: I just sampled one of the mini muffins straight from the oven…Yum!I wasn’t sure what the count was or how high to fill the tins, but I doubled the batch and it made 18 reg/lrg ones plus 12 minis (the babies love ‘em small)Also, my son is allergic to eggs, so I substituted enerG egg replacer for the eggs.

Looking at some banana’s that needed using I found this recipe and am about to go make these muffins right now! So simple and can make with things that I already have in the kitchen! GREAT! =) On March 25th, 2007 at 5:25 am johnothanert Says: this recipe didnt work so i was sad and i did everything right On March 25th, 2007 at 5:34 am Cat Says: I wonder what went wrong…they are soooo easy!!! On March 29th, 2007 at 7:48 pm Glenda Says: I was going to make some banana bread with the recipe I already had, but thought I’d try to make muffins instead. The recipe seems almost too easy for it to be good, but the responses to this recipe make it sound promising…so it’s worth a try. On March 29th, 2007 at 8:01 pm Cat Says: I don’t think you will be disappointed Glenda I’m going to branch out and find a recipe for some different Banana bread tomorrow…I have some rather sad looking bananas in the fruit bowl! Care to share yours? On April 9th, 2007 at 9:56 am Raina Says: I just found and just made this recipe this morning. I didn’t have butter or margarine; I substituted oil. I used less flour, so I could add a bit of oatbran and flax meal. This is a great recipe – definitely a keeper! On April 13th, 2007 at 11:12 am Matt Says: Me and my Mom are going to try this recipe,hope it’s good!:-) On April 13th, 2007 at 6:44 pm Sue Says: I’m going to make these for my grandson’s morning birthday party. How many regular sized muffins does one batch make? On April 15th, 2007 at 5:05 pm Glenda Says: oops….I wanted to reply sooner and let you know how the muffins turned out but completely forgot…Anyways, the muffins came out great. I added a little more sugar than the recipe called for only because my bananas were a couple days shy of being perfect for cooking (but I was too excited to wait). My husband was completely surprised when he got home and the first thing out of his mouth after eating a muffin was “I knew there was a reason why I married you”. I am definitely going to keep this recipe, I have a place for it in my “favorite recipe” book where I put all the other awesome recipes I find. Oh yeah, because I have such a sweet tooth I even took some walnuts, toasted them and mixed it in with some fluffy white cake frosting and lightly frosted a few muffins just to experiment…needless to say, my husband ate all those first. On April 21st, 2007 at 12:38 am Alice Miller Says: Just making these at the moment, took me 5 mins to prepare! In response to Liz, the flour is plain flour because the baking powder will make it rise – I think you could substitute the plain flour and baking powder for self-raising flour though, and maybe lessen the baking soda. Hope this makes sense and works!! On April 21st, 2007 at 3:03 am PamK Says: I’m allergic to eggs too and I just left it out – I had 4 big goey bananas, and it worked fine without, especially for the mini’s. One batch made enough for a dozen lg and 1 doz minis. An old recipe book said to add an extra tablespoon of whatever the main liquid ingredient is if you have no eggs – in this case, the bit of extra banana and a pinch extra baking soda did the trick. On April 27th, 2007 at 12:02 am Becs Says: This recipe is terrific for people like me who live in the middle of nowhere (in a tiny town in the north of Australia)where it’s hard to get fresh ingredients. I plan to share them around my husband’s office this afternoon and know they will be very much appreciated. Thanks…. On April 27th, 2007 at 1:30 am Karen Says: These were fantastic!!!! Very moist and delicious. I’ve tried maybe 7 or 8 different recipes all of which always were dry no matter how many bananas or oil I added. I will be buying plenty of bananas from now on and next time the chocolate chips go in. Forgot to mention how easy it was and only took maybe 5 minutes to put together. Was great with a hot cup of tea tonight. Hubby loves them! On April 30th, 2007 at 5:56 pm Nadine Says: I’ve used this recipe a couple of times now, and always with different fruits. Every time they turn out great. First experiment was with bananas and berries….devine! Second bananas and apple, and today I don’t have any bananas, but I’m going to make them anyway….this time I think apple and berries. Wish me luck:) On May 6th, 2007 at 4:56 pm Brisbabe Says: The muffins are in the oven as I am typing this! I don’t eat gluten however so I have substituted the flour for chickpea flour that I purchased at an Indian grocer. And I didn’t add any gluten-free baking soda because I have run out, so I may have just ruined your “easy, foolproof” recipe. But we shall see in twenty minutes! On May 6th, 2007 at 5:15 pm Brisbabe Says: Delicious!!! I added cinnamon and sprinkled almonds on top too. They’re awesome!!! Thanks for the recipe!

Thank you On June 2nd, 2007 at 11:20 am Cat Says: I think a great idea would be to add fresh sliced strawberries, and chocolate chips…voila! Banana Split Muffins I really must try that! On June 3rd, 2007 at 6:29 pm Brands Says: These muffins are great, my husband said when he smelt them, “when will the muffins be ready” I really made them for my son for a snack at school, if they make it the far with my husband in the house, Thanx’s this recipe is GREAT! On June 5th, 2007 at 3:22 pm Lori Says: WOW, it was easy, and it really is great tasting. My kids love then and from start to finish, they can be made in less than 30 minutes! On June 8th, 2007 at 7:23 pm Savanah Says: Mine are in the oven right now… they smell soooo good. I hope they turn out good the other recipe I always used my muffins always came out white… they wouldn’t get golden no matter how long I left them in…. we will see how these ones turn out… On June 8th, 2007 at 7:26 pm Savanah Says: They came out Golden brown.. o how nice… they are really good… a little cinnamon on top…they are great! On June 12th, 2007 at 9:12 am The River Says: I made them to sell at my little cafe in Elora, Ont (www.theriverelora.com). I got rid of the whole batch. I also added chocolate chips. Thanks Cat! On June 17th, 2007 at 12:26 am Julz Says: Hi from NZ … I just made a batch and added some frozen beries and they are great. I then made a batch of berry and chocolate muffins using this recipe. Yet to try them but they look ok so far. Thanks for this great recipe Cat … look forward to more of them for challenged bakers like myself. On June 25th, 2007 at 12:53 am Shirley Says: Please tell me normally what type of banana do you use. On July 4th, 2007 at 1:25 pm `Lexx Says: i made these muffins for my mom’s birthday with a slight modification ( i put icing on top and a birthday candle) and they were yummyyummyyumyumyummers i deffinetley recommend this recipeeeeee On July 4th, 2007 at 7:31 pm Karen Says: I made these using 1/2 c. whole wheat flour and 1 c regular flour plus 1/2 c. pulverised walnuts (I save some to sprinkle on the top before baking). They were great! Another useful tip someone told me is that you can peel bananas, wrap them in saran wrap and freeze. I then chope them as is into yoghurt shakes or thaw them in the microwave, drain the excess liquid and use them to bake with. Thanks for the recipe On July 8th, 2007 at 12:35 pm Heather Says: Thanks so much for the fabulous recipe! I just made it 10 minutes ago, though I added 2 tbsp. organic omega oil (pumpkin oil & olive oil blend), 1/4 cup wheat germ, and 1 cup of fresh strawberries. They worked perfectly! The kids love them, and my husband declared these are the best muffins he’s ever had! They’ve no idea these are actually good for them:) On July 10th, 2007 at 7:57 am Rell Says: My husband just made these muffins this morning. I asked him to put chocolate chips on one of them for me. I should have had him put chocolate chips on more of them. They are very light, fluffy and moist. They are great with or without the chocolate chips. A recipe that is going to be a keeper. The preparation and clean-up was a breeze! Thanks! On July 11th, 2007 at 6:36 am Nicole Says: I made a healthy version with 1 cup organic white flour, 1/4 c whole grain graham flour and 1/4 c wheat germ. I also substituted sugar for honey & 1/2 of the butter with apple sauce. I added walnuts (they are very healthy) & a few mini chocolate chips (for the chocoholic in me). They turned out wonderful. Even my husband who doesn’t usually like things made w/ whole wheat flour and wheat germ loved them. My 4 year old also enjoyed. On July 13th, 2007 at 11:16 pm Adam Seale Says: I just gave it a shot myself this evening. Just to disprove to my grandfather that a teenage male can’t cook, I suppose. xD I had to mix it a bit different. A little more sugar, and we only had two good sized bananas in the kitchen, but they turned out very well. I’m looking forward to another with a bit of butter and a nice cup of coffee for breakfast tomorrow. =) On July 14th, 2007 at 10:32 pm Mechee Says: Thanks for the amazing recipe- these muffins are great!! On July 17th, 2007 at 1:34 pm victoria Says: These muffins are amazing!!! I was a little sceptical, but like the other reviews said, they were super easy and so moist and delicious! I used 5 bananas,substituted the butter for coconut oil,added some flax seeds and shredded coconut,and a little cinnamon and vanilla! Healthy and delicious, thanks so much! On July 18th, 2007 at 7:46 am Tracey Says: This is the exact same recipe passed down to me by my grandmother about 30 years ago. It was always a family favourite and the best darn banana muffin recipe around. They are the easiest to make and freeze well and are always perfectly golden and moist. I love to add walnuts to some and chocolate chips to others. I’m going to try it with the apples like someone above mentioned and maybe make a bit of a crumble topping to dab on the top. Anyone who has not tried these banana muffins yet, will not be disappointed when they do. On August 3rd, 2007 at 12:18 am Shawna Says: I just made these and they were super yum! I substituted some of the flour for oats and added some halved almonds to make banana oat and almond muffins. I am horrible with cooking/baking. When i asked my former roommate to try one she looked at me scared.. but after gobbling it down she asked, “why didn’t you make things like this when we were living together?” HA ha Awesome recipe. On August 3rd, 2007 at 10:00 am Quyen Le-Devenish Says: I will repeat what other people have written and say your muffin recipe was fantastic! The second day bought them into work, people were reserving muffins at the start of the day to eat later….it was a hit and a half. I have a low tolerance for food with a high sugar content. After trying your banana muffins and loving them, I am now going to try your carrot cake recipe. Thank you On August 3rd, 2007 at 8:43 pm Denise Says: I’ve just tried your banana muffin recipe. The muffins are delicious…so soft and fluffy!!! My 2 years old son loves it totally. Thanks for the recipe. On August 9th, 2007 at 12:27 pm rebecca Bird Says: hey i just made this muffins and they were awesome i am always gonna keep the recipe so i can make these all the time On August 9th, 2007 at 9:51 pm scottie Says: Hey, i loveeee these muffins!!!!!i’m in the middle of making them right now… Even tho i had to make them with whole wheat flour, they still turned out great!!! mmm, yummmmmmmmm!~!Thanx O’ bunch!!! On August 14th, 2007 at 5:40 pm Julie Iverson Says: I made these muffins for the first time today, and they are amazing! I substituted 1/3 cup canola oil for the butter, added a bit of ground flaxseed and some fresh blueberries and wow! I wish I’d found this recipe sooner, it’s way better than the one I’d been using. Hope everyone else enjoys it too! On August 23rd, 2007 at 4:52 pm Melina Says: Wow.These muffins are the bomb!Thanks for the recipe.!

(\_/)(o.O)(> On August 27th, 2007 at 4:34 pm Steph Says: I have one question:How many muffins does this recipe make? On August 28th, 2007 at 7:53 pm Libby Says: This recipe is fantastic, thank you for sharing! I used oil instead of butter, because that was all I had, and threw in a couple of handfuls of semisweet chocolate chips – sooo good! Steph – about 10-12 muffins. On August 29th, 2007 at 3:40 pm Steph Says: Thanks! On September 2nd, 2007 at 1:59 pm Wacky Says: I Love These muffins On September 6th, 2007 at 6:24 pm quichepup Says: I found your recipe when I googled “banana muffin recipe.” I too had a bunch of old bananas and like you said, had the rest of the ingredients on shelf.

I am a horrible baker with a horrid oven and these turned out golden brown and delicious. I used a full cup of sugar but next time I think I’ll try 1/2 c with choc chips. Yum! On September 24th, 2007 at 1:23 pm Nicole Says: GREAT muffins, and easy to. I made them with my three year old, and unlike many other recipes we’ve tried there wasn’t much mess. The quicker the recipe the better!!!! I topped then with a cream cheese frosting,(a little sweet) and told my son they were cupcakes =0), he thought they were great!!!! On September 27th, 2007 at 10:25 pm Judy Says: I made these today with my 3 1/2 year old (and my 1 1/2 year old, who isn’t much help yet). These were, by far, the best banana muffins ever. Easy, fast, and so so yummy. I think I’m going to make more when our bananas are ripe! Thanks!!! On September 29th, 2007 at 8:33 pm Vijitha Says: Super fantastic recipe. Thank you for sharing. I have been making muffins for years and never had I ever made such scrumptious and easy recipe.I mixed all the ingredients in under 5 mins! I used self raising flour instead and my muffins took about 25 mins to bake. AWESOME On September 30th, 2007 at 7:55 pm Jiselle Says: OMG! These Muffins are delectable! I ate like all of them! On September 30th, 2007 at 8:57 pm Cookie Says: I just baked em this evening! they turned out perfect:) Hooray!! On September 30th, 2007 at 10:26 pm Kenneth Teh Says: Great recipe….

On October 6th, 2007 at 1:01 am Alyssa Says: great recipie!i am only 11 years old and i really like to cook. the only problem is that most recipies are difficult and require many ingrediants.this recipie is so quick and easy!!!everybody in my family loves this recipie!add chocolate chips and it is perfect.lovely! On October 13th, 2007 at 10:27 am Jennifer Says: Awesome recipe. Everyone on my street loves these muffins!

I still can’t believe how easy the preparation was!Thanks for the recipe….I will be making these often… On November 4th, 2007 at 6:26 pm Marianne Says: i am cooking these as i right and i am hoping that they work cause i did everything right but i made into a loaf instead of muffins so…. On November 5th, 2007 at 11:39 am Sonya Says: These are great! I mixed some shredded apple into the first batch, along with some wheat germ and almond meal … YUM! The second batch I didn’t use bananas at all, just shredded apples and then added a little nutmeg, wheat germ, chopped walnuts, and dried cranberries! Awesome!!! On November 6th, 2007 at 12:35 pm Noreen Says: I made these and brought them to work and people could not just eat one! Awesome easy recipe. I will add nuts and top with cinnamon and br sugar next time! Thanks! On November 9th, 2007 at 8:44 pm Sarah Says: These are great easy and really nice, i agree with the less sugar a whole cup would be too much and for people not using farenhite it is 180 degree c for 20 mins, also instead of using plain flour, bi carb and baking soda I used self raising flour worked just a well. =) yummy! On November 10th, 2007 at 2:33 am Danielle Says: FINALLY – a successful batch of muffins!! They are delicious even if I do say so myself, my children loved them. I used 3/4 cup sugar, and 4 bananas and added a tsp of vanilla and the walnuts, bit risky for me to try and be ‘adventurous’ with cooking but they turned out great. Thank you On November 11th, 2007 at 1:39 am Alyssa Says: My roomate made them with the original recipe and i made the “healthier” version (although we still both added chocolate chips, haha). I just replaced the oil with un-sweetened apple sauce (i hear you can also use fat free plain yogurt), and the sugar with splenda. They both tasted great, and you could hardly tell the difference! I’m making another batch now! On November 11th, 2007 at 10:39 pm Cassandra Says: I love to play with recipes, so I’m making 6 banana nut (I’m just putting the nuts on top of the muffins) Banana strawberry and the Banana split recipe Cat gave above(chocolate chips, banana, strawberry) (goes to kitchen to pull out first batch) Amazing!!! It gets a bit heated in my apartment, so I had the windows open, and My neighbor, smelled them and came over They are great!!! mix it up! On November 13th, 2007 at 5:47 am olga Says: what flour do you guys use, plain/all purpose/self raising etc ? i am thinking of making these tonight, going shopping in a bit. On November 13th, 2007 at 2:33 pm saudia Says: i tried to baked banana muffins…….my husband loves it! and it was so easy and simple….thanks… On November 13th, 2007 at 2:36 pm saudia Says: it’s taste amazing…..i tried to put some hazelnuts. On November 19th, 2007 at 5:37 am Brandy Says: Thanx, they should be a success! I just tried a new chocolate toffee square recipe today and it bombed big time! I have a pre-natal class tomorrow and it is my turn to bring snacks:) Had all the ingredients for this quick and easy recipe in the cubboard~I too vamped the recipe just a bit…less sugar, 1/2 ww flour, 1/2 the margarine mixed with the other 1/2 peanut butter…added a tsp of cinnamon, some choc chips & poppy seeds too. They turned out fantastic! My best muffins yet! Thanx again, you saved the day:) On November 20th, 2007 at 10:25 am Suma Says: I’m going to try and substitute as much wheat flour as possible. But I don’t have a regular oven. Can anyone tell me a time variation for the microwave. I bake regular cakes in it (around 1c flour) at around 180degC for 35 mins. On November 22nd, 2007 at 3:57 pm Cynthia Says: Made them for the second time today and had to write. They are indeed fantastic. My 5 year old mashes the bananas and my 2 year old dumps in and mixes the dry. Moist with lovely texture – foolproof. I add a little vanilla and a few chocolate chips. My 5 year old actually asked me to leave the chocolate chips out the next time (and he loves chocolate!) because he thinks they don’t need them. Thank you, Cat. On November 29th, 2007 at 12:38 pm Mavis Says: Just made these muffins for my grandaughters,I added some buttermilk and some ground flax,I thought a little dry and a little wet would be alright,i also melted some choc chips and spread them on top.I haven’t tasted them yet,I have to wait for the girls to rave and I know they will rave about them.I think this one will be a favorite.Mavis On December 3rd, 2007 at 1:22 pm lindsay Says: This recipe is the best by far! I have tried many different Banana muffin recipes and this one is the best! So easy, and you are gauranteed to have everything you need right in your pantry! This gets 2 thumbs wayyyyyyyy up high for me!! On December 5th, 2007 at 5:55 am janus Says: it was my first attempt at baking, and i used this recipe without an oven – AND it still turned out great!! i don’t have an oven so i simply steamed the muffins chinese-cake style. haha! thanks cat, and for everyone with all the helpful comments! ^_^ On December 15th, 2007 at 2:38 pm Rachael Says: Thanks Cat, they’re in the oven now and smelling amazing. So easy to prepare and quick to cook. What more does a busy cook need?! Cant wait to taste them and am sure they taste even better warm with a little butter slathered in the middle…MMMMMmmmmmmm On December 16th, 2007 at 8:03 am Judy Says: My husband and I live in the Caribbean and have huge banana trees. When they are ripe we have more than we can ever use. After giving most to friends,and eating our share, we freeze them right in the skin. When we want to bake, bread mostly, we defrost the number we need and they are so moist and flavorful. My husband always makes bread, so I asked if we can try some muffins for the holidays. We’ll add some dried cranberries or cherries- but I’m really excited to try Chocolate chips.I’ll keep you posted. On December 16th, 2007 at 9:42 am natalie Says: ohhh my gosh…………….wow there are so many comments!!!! these are probably really really really really really good if like 500 people said that they were amazing. Well at least they smell good! (they’re in the oven right now.) On December 16th, 2007 at 2:27 pm Robin Says: I’m going to try them out today, sounds really good!!!! On December 27th, 2007 at 5:59 am Lavina Hewitson Says: I am a hopeless cook and these were great and easy to make and a success. Does anyone have any idea how many Weight watchers point would be in 1 On December 28th, 2007 at 7:25 am Cat Says: I am going to hazard a *guess* as a Lifetime Weight Watchers Member…I bet there are around 5 points in one small muffin. Again, just a guess! Thanks for all the great feedback, and please keep it coming! These muffins sure seem to be popular! I know we all love em, and they are completely fail-proof! On December 31st, 2007 at 1:05 pm Debbie Says: How can something so easy to make taste so good?These muffins are GREAT ! On January 3rd, 2008 at 7:58 pm Jessica Says: AMAZING!!! I had some bananas that were getting way too brown. I made a batch of mini muffins and I can’t keep away from them. We have found a new favorite! Thanks!! On January 11th, 2008 at 5:29 pm Jennifer Says: Wow thank you so much these were a huge success. I can’t wait to try the pumpkin muffin receipe. My question is with the pumpkin muffins you say to double the receipe and go a little heavier with the sugar. Will 1 cup do? Or did you mean double the sugar too? Thanks again for such GREAT muffins! On January 11th, 2008 at 6:04 pm Cat Says: To answer Jennifer about the Pumpkin Muffins, you double the sugar, so use one cup in total, but I increase that slightly…so do, say, 1 1/2 Cups in total to make your double batch! Really, you just can’t go wrong. Then, add in raisins or nuts…you can play around with the spices too…Allspice or Pumpkin Pie spice would both do nicely Goodluck! Thanks for all of the lovely comments! These really are the best and easiest…I just cannot stress that enough! Think I’ll make a batch tomorrow! On January 11th, 2008 at 9:15 pm Stefan Says: I made them with chocolate protein powder and whole wheat flour! On January 12th, 2008 at 11:52 am Jennifer Says: Thanks Cat for the info I can’t wait to try them! They really are great! On January 12th, 2008 at 4:19 pm Eli Says: Hi Cat, You look extremely familier but I can’t place you, great muffins by the way, happy new year. On January 13th, 2008 at 8:07 pm Caroline Says: These muffins are so moist and delicious! Thanks for sharing On January 13th, 2008 at 10:32 pm Michelle Says: Oh my!!!I have literally just pulled my first batch out of the oven and I am eating it while it’s still warm. My 18 month old has a mini version and I think she would agree with me, these are delicious!They are just so tasty! Yummmmo!!! On January 16th, 2008 at 12:34 am midwestmom Says: I ran these through Weight Watcher’s Recipe Builder and they are four points each. I tried it with marg. instead of butter, still four pts. Four or five bananas, still four points. On January 16th, 2008 at 12:35 am midwestmom Says: that should have said “three or four bananas” for 4 ww points.can’t wait to try them.thanks for sharing. On January 16th, 2008 at 8:01 am Cat Says: That is great to know they are each 4 Weight Watchers Points! They are worth every point! On January 23rd, 2008 at 9:15 am leanne Says: WICKED!!!

We added sultanas and Cornflakes and kids woofed them. Thank you! On January 25th, 2008 at 12:13 pm Ruby D Says: Since I found this recipe I’ve made these muffins probably 6 times in the past 4 months. Everyone that tries them loves them too!! I’ve freezed them as suggested and they’re always just as good as before I pop them in the freezer!I will never try another banana muffin recipe again! On January 26th, 2008 at 3:07 am Lavina Hewitson Says: I was having a look at WW site here in Australia and I came across the almost exact receipe as your banana muffins the only difference they have is 1 tblspn Honey and 1 teaspoon Nutmeg and cinnamon but they quote 1 muffin as 2 points! Almost worded the same as yours!Fantastic if it is 2 points! On January 27th, 2008 at 6:14 am tamara Says: i really liked the banana muffins but something was missing so i added some sprinkles it was delicous i like the muffuns On January 28th, 2008 at 11:17 am Debbie Says: Wow, I made these muffins last week and they were gone within 3 hours.. So I had to make another batch the next day. thanks so much for the recipe On January 28th, 2008 at 11:40 pm midwestmom Says: sorry, they’re 4 points each, the following is exported from WW’s recipe builder: Banana Muffins main mealsPOINTS® Value: 4Servings: 12 Preparation Time: 10 minCooking Time: 20 minLevel of Difficulty: EasyCourse: main meals Ingredients * 1/3 cup unsalted butter* 1/2 tsp table salt* 4 large banana(s)* 1 tsp baking powder* 1 tsp baking soda* 1/2 cup sugar* 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour* 1 egg Instructions Mix the mashed banana, sugar, egg and margarine together.

On January 29th, 2008 at 6:57 pm Heather Says: YuMmY!!I tweeked your recipe and added 1/4 C of Apple sauce instead of butter plus I tossed in some blueberries and Strawberries too. On February 2nd, 2008 at 10:53 pm Shaz Says: I made these yesterday and they all gone (everyone loved these muffins) thank you so much =) On February 4th, 2008 at 11:16 am tamara Says: yesterday i made them again and i put crispers in it it is much better than your recipe On February 5th, 2008 at 5:46 pm Liz Says: These were excellent with milk chocolate chips…I’m trying peanut butter chips next! On February 10th, 2008 at 3:19 pm Heather J. Says: That’s it…I’m done. I never need to try another banana muffin recipe again. I have tried so many, and they always left me sort of disappointed, too dry, wrong texture, not enough flavour…but this recipe ROCKS.Try adding some blueberries…and while you’re at it, double the recipe and buy more bananas so they can start ripenning!! On February 10th, 2008 at 8:13 pm Cat Says: yumm On February 11th, 2008 at 6:02 pm Ashley Says: I made these today. Replaced the egg with 1/4 cup of applesauce, and added chocolate chips. They’re very tasty. On February 13th, 2008 at 11:46 am Ydo Says: Love these muffins! They are so moist and cutting the sugar by half was a good idea. I made them while my 3 yr old was taking a nap and the first thing he said when he woke up was, “I smell something good!” He loved them so I will definitely make them again. This recipe is a keeper. Thanks! On February 13th, 2008 at 12:08 pm Thanks! Says: Delicious! baked a batch for my study group and they were a hit. On February 15th, 2008 at 5:30 am Susan Merrick Says: I was looking on-line for a banana muffin recipe and came across yours. I made it this morning and am now sitting at my laptop, looking out on a gray day in the south of England, eating a wonderful muffin (yum!) and thinking about Guelph. I live in England now but I went to the University of Guelph long ago (1970-73) and then later lived in Fergus for nearly 7 years. Thank you for the recipe and the memories that it and your blog have brought back. I have two daughters also living here and I will pass it on to them. On February 16th, 2008 at 4:50 pm deffff.YUM =] Says: omqqq. smells AMAZiNG ; obviously this recipe is a keeper =] me, my cousin & my step dad made `em this afternoon. WOW. that’s all i have to say… haha thanx Cat <3 On February 21st, 2008 at 12:51 pm Pamela Says: I just baked these muffins with my 11 month old daughter. They were so easy and yummy. We both had to have one as soon as they were cool. We are going to get some pumpkin to make the Super Pumpkin Muffins tomorrow. Yum!!!! On February 23rd, 2008 at 7:35 am Mags Says: Had 4 very ripe bananas but only one egg – thought I wouldn’t be able to make muffins – wrong! Turned out beautifully. THANKS! FYI 1/3 cup butter = 75 grams On February 23rd, 2008 at 6:16 pm Ashley Says: Delicious! I added some cinnamon and nutmeg (I adore those spices) and I found it had a better taste ^^ Excellent muffins! Half sugar was a good choice. Made 12 medium sized muffins which were very yummy. I also glazed them with butter and honey, but if you want to be healthy just use honey! On February 24th, 2008 at 1:11 pm Caitlin Says: Hi! Just stumbled on this recipe when I googled “easy banana muffins” and I L-O-V-E it! Take it from someone who can burn cereal, these things are foolproof. I’m just out of college, never baked anything in my life, have an oven that looks like it’s from 1927, and STILL managed to put these together and they taste fantastic! Easy ingredients right off the shelf and simple instructions — love them! Thank you! On February 25th, 2008 at 4:48 pm Leeanne from NEW ZEALAND Says: Hi I just tried out your Banana Muffin recipe and they are awesome!!!thanks Leeanne from NEW ZEALAND. I am going to try your carrot cake next will let you know what I think On February 26th, 2008 at 9:22 am Karen Says: Hi,I used this recipe, but I only had two ripe bananas. So, I added 1/3 cup banana cream instant pudding mix and 1/3 cup sour cream. I also added 1/8 cup sugar. They were delicious! I’ve made several different kinds of muffins lately. My eleven year old said these are the best! On February 28th, 2008 at 10:50 am Beatrice Says: I just tried this banana muffin recipe and it turned out perfect! The best I’ve ever made…. Thank you for sharing… I’ve added about 2/3 cup of water into the batter and it turned out exactly I wanted it to be: moist, flavaorful and soft… Thanks.. look forward to more recipes from you… On March 5th, 2008 at 1:12 pm Margie Says: These Are The Best Muffins Ever!! I Live With a Bunch of Boys and They Love Them Sooo Much. I End up Having to Make Them At Least Once a Week to Keep Them Happy -_-’But Their Super Easy so I Dont Even Mind Thank- You for the Best Ever Muffins!! On March 6th, 2008 at 12:17 am Kelly Robertson Says: Great muffins! I made these for my kids tonight, I will pack in their lunches tomorrow. I made one small change/addition…I used Cat’s suggestion of 1/2 cup of sugar, to which I added 1/2 cup of black strap molasses (for the added iron for the kiddies). Thank you for the recipe – they are classic favourite! On March 6th, 2008 at 10:42 pm EviaStarroy Says: Cat, I used your muffin recipe today and blogged about it. Thank you for the easy recipe! On March 10th, 2008 at 4:23 pm Maria Says: Thank You! I tried looking for a quick recipe in my old Better Crocker Cookbook ( it should go in the recycle bin! It required shortening! Yuck! These muffins are great! No more guilt over throwing away over ripe bananas, and yummy muffins to boot! Thanks Again! I have bookmarked you! On March 11th, 2008 at 3:29 pm jamaicanjacqi Says: THEY WERE AMAZING. you are a genuis! well i havent tried one, they just got out of the oven and they look fabulous…i cant wait to eat one. On March 13th, 2008 at 10:27 pm desiree Says: I mixed cinnamon sugar with margarine until it was like a dry grahm cracker crust, and sprinkled the sand-like mixture on top before baking, they had a crispy awesome taste afterward. On March 15th, 2008 at 12:55 pm Rhonda Says: HiI found your recipe by using Google. I make these muffins probably twice a month. My family loves these muffins!! I use 3/4 c sugar and they seem just right for us. On March 17th, 2008 at 2:37 pm Stevie Says: Great recipe.. made it today and added 2 tsp of vanilla extract.. yuumm On March 18th, 2008 at 7:05 pm Sandi Says: I am making these muffins right now, and reading all 32 pages of your comments out loud to annoy my boyfriend.

These muffins turned out just magical. Soft, springy and delicious. I didnt bother to mix the ingredients separately. Just put everyhting in a bowl and whoa! The muffins disappeared within moments…thanks for this awesome recipe. Sue On April 11th, 2008 at 2:09 am Lauren Says: Im 11 and I find it really hard to make really easy recipies that dont need heaps of ingredients. They are really easy to make. On April 13th, 2008 at 2:26 pm Donna Says: My daughter brought home a bag of very ripe bananas from school. (Kind of volunteered Mom to make banana bread for the class.) I have NO luck with banana bread at all so started surfing for an alternative. I doubled this recipe and got 3 dozen muffins. I followed exactly then added chocolate chips. The last batch are in the oven right now. They are soooo delicious !!! Thanks for this recipe. It’s going into my recipe box. On April 13th, 2008 at 6:43 pm Annie Says: WOW… so many great comments.. i’m gonna try it too then. haha.. i’m a dummie in baking but this seems pretty easy. one question though, melted magarine/butter just means soften/spreadable, eh? and.. haha.. dun over stir? hm.. ok, i’ll do some experiment, haha.. thanks cat! On April 14th, 2008 at 2:58 pm Alison Says: These are the best banana muffins I have ever made! I make them all the time now! I make them for everything! My friends are in love with them… I have directed them to this site! You are so great at what you do! Thanks for being passionate about it! On April 16th, 2008 at 2:06 pm The Pypes Says: Great! On April 20th, 2008 at 3:53 pm Kathleen Says: Soooo good! I couldn’t believe I didn’t need a mixer, but these are so simple and so more-ish this will now be my permanent banana muffin recipe. Thanks! On April 22nd, 2008 at 6:43 pm Lydee Says: I just printed the recipe of your banana muffins, love the internet give us access to people like you whom have passion for baking. My oven is heating up as we speak and my muffins are waiting to baked to its perfection. I had to borrow baking soda from the neighbors, I had everything else but. I am excited to see how it is going to turn out. This the kind of recipe I was looking for, simple, hardly any ingredients, and hardly any fuss. Thanx! I’ll write again once I tried the muffins. On April 23rd, 2008 at 2:18 pm Ava's Mom Says: I was wondering, could you substitute whole wheat flour for the white, all purpose flour? I have 3 bananas ripening as we speak and wanted to give this recipe a go. I try to use whole wheat products whenever I can. My almost 2 year old daughter loves bananas and I wanted to give her something new to try. Thanks! On April 25th, 2008 at 8:59 pm Wes Says: Being a young guy I’m not very good at cooking but the one thing I miss most about living at home is my moms Banana Muffins. I stumbled across this recipe and have successfully made them several times. The last time i made them I added a tablesoon of crunchy peanut butter… SO GOOD! On April 27th, 2008 at 10:27 am Wanda Lee Says: I found your recipe yesterday and I had 4 ripe banans. I had to try making it this morning. Simple and Delicious!! Thanks On April 27th, 2008 at 7:36 pm jandksmummy Says: I just stumbled across your recipe and tried it today. This is the best banana muffin recipe I have ever used..thank-you! I also added 1/2 cup brown sugar instead of white sugar. I think next time I’ll add a pinch of cinnamon. On April 28th, 2008 at 3:35 pm Lydee Says: This recipe is so versatile you can use it as basic ingredient for any muffins. So far I’ve made: banana with chocolate chips, banana with oatmeal, banana and strawberry, just plain banana muffins. with the same recipe i substituted the bananas with mango and peach. So to add to my list, on the counter i have a batch of mango muffins, peach muffins and mango and peach muffins, and mango, peach and oatmeal. Last week, I made applesauce and oatmeal and my husband took it to his work the whole dozen, and it was a hit. Once again thank you for the recipe. If I just leave my husband alone, he would eat the whole batch of banana muffins in one sitting. On April 30th, 2008 at 9:04 am Nanny Says: hello therewe are trying your recipe right now and we’re very curious how it’ll come out as we have no baking soda in switzerland,…the kids can’t wait to try it and we even add some chocolate chips and gummibears!35min later and: We love it!!!me as an andult like the plain banana one best and the kids love the chololate ones best!thanks for this great recipe! love from switzerland On April 30th, 2008 at 9:42 am Nanny Says: us again!okay the muffins with gummibears are not everybodys thing! mine it’s totaly not!the inside is very soft and sticky and the taste is kind of strange. one of the kids loves it and the other one sais i’s okay and i hate it,…. On May 1st, 2008 at 9:30 pm Larissa Says: Hi Thanks so much for the recipe!I always add some chocolate chips, they are delicious!Need a quick gift? Make the muffins put them on a platter, saran wrap and add a bow On May 11th, 2008 at 5:51 am Jezza Says: DELISH! On May 18th, 2008 at 10:01 am Cara Says: Thanks for a great recipe. I found it via Google. Using your recipe and combining the comments from others I did the following: I didn’t use an egg. I used 4 bananas and an extra pinch of baking sode. I used 1 cup of flour, ½ cup of grahamsflour and wholewheat flour mixed, and a handful of oats. I also substituted the ½ cup of sugar with ½ cup of honey. Baked for 25 minutes. DELICIOUS! And really low fat! On May 19th, 2008 at 4:08 pm Mom of picky eaters Says: Absolutely the best, best, BEST recipe for banana muffins! Even my picky kids loved them. (I think they think it is cake!) Can’t wait to try the pumpkin and apple variations. On May 25th, 2008 at 11:27 pm Sandra Says: This is the best banana muffin recipe. They are so quick and easy and taste fantastic. Thanks Cat. On May 29th, 2008 at 11:46 am Madelise Says: Thanks for the great recipe! They really are so easy to make! My husband and coworkers loved them! I will definitely make them again and vary them with some of the other suggestions posters have made. Thanks again! On June 2nd, 2008 at 2:30 pm Jo Says: Thank you so much! I had some bananas I was desperate to use! This will be a quick easy treat for my girls and I this afternoon! On June 2nd, 2008 at 6:24 pm Wee Sandy Says: Thanks for the fantastic recipe! Very moist & yummy! I made mine with 1/2 Cup walnuts and 1/4 Cup chocolate chips. Mmmmmmm On June 8th, 2008 at 3:27 pm Janelle Says: These sound so delicious! I’m making these for my home-ec exam and my class, hope they work out okay, bacause lately all i do is mess things up, like cookies! On June 9th, 2008 at 8:36 am Melissa Says: Was trying to figure out something to make for breakfast, since I was craving a whole wheat bagel with eggs, but nope, too many eggs since I already had that yesterday and the day before. (I am pregnant! lol!) And we had cereal last night so I knew my husband wouldn’t feel like cereal. We had 2 ripening bananas, so I thought to make banana bread, but when I looked up some recipes online, the ones I found all said they took about an hour to bake, and I didn’t have that much time since my husband would have to leave for work. So instead, I did a search on ‘quick, yummy banana muffins’, and came across this page. Wow, so many comments! Anyway there were so few ingredients, and I like tweaking a little, so I decided to give it a try. Good call on the sugar – I would have used honey instead if we had any, but we just had sugar. They were very sweet even with just half a cup – next time if I use sugar I might even use less. We only had two bananas. Next time I may also try applesauce instead of butter/oil – to make them healthier. Also, I used 1 cup of whole wheat flour, and 1/2 a cup of regular flour – we try to use a lot of whole wheat/whole grains these days. And, I sliced up an apple and through it in, along with a handful of raisins. It took EXACTLY 20 minutes to cook and was ready just in time before my husband had to leave for work – so we ate them warm and fresh out of the oven – delicious! We had 3 each and I have to admit that after he left, I had 2 more! No more until tomorrow! LOL! (It made exactly 12 decent sized muffins!) I think I have a new favorite but mine turned out still just a bit too sweet – maybe because of the extra raisins? On June 11th, 2008 at 11:46 pm Merideth Says: I know it will be repeating what seems like a million other people have said but I LOVE THIS RECIPE!!!! I felt horrible cuz I bought a bunch of bananas for my famous fruit salad and they started to get too ripe (the fruit salad absolutely must have very firm nanners to hold up to all the other fruit so typically I use greenish-yellow nanners) and I kept thinking of my Gram’s Nanner Bread recipe but it takes sooooo long and is best with walnuts in it and my roommates can’t have nuts. So I did a quick glance thru the 800 gazillion cook books I have and again came up with bread recipes that took forever. Then I did a web search and this was the first page I looked at and I have to say I couldn’t resist trying something that has so few ingredients and is so simple with such rave reviews. I am in the middle of spring cleaning and seemed to have lost my muffin pan so instead I used my mini loaf pans and ended up with 4 mini loaves (it did take about 10 minutes longer to cook). Unfortunately the first 2 were done during a TV show that my roommate and I watch almost religiously (it was the finale) and before the show was even over we had finished off both of the mini loaves. The funny part was that it was a cooking show and during the commercials we were joking that these muffins would make me win the show, then I had to share with my roommate that I got the recipe from you! On June 14th, 2008 at 10:24 pm Sarah Says: FANTASTIC! I made them with wheat flour and Splenda and everybody loves them! AND they have no clue how healthy they are! Thanks for the recipe!! On June 16th, 2008 at 1:30 pm Reba Says: I love this recipe also. I made a slight alteration to mine. I like using between 1/2 C and 2/3 C honey in place of the sugar. I find they are more moist and they are healthier for the kids. I sometimes also add about a third of a bag of nestle mini chocolate chips for some variety. On June 19th, 2008 at 6:07 am Heather Says: My favorite muffin recipe by far. I want to share the recipe with family and friends but I don’t want them to know my easy secret. Hmm. This is the easiest, most consistent and overall best recipe. Not only do I have GREAT looking muffins but they’re healthy too. Can’t wait to try other flavors as well as some of the suggested substitutes. Thanks for sharing! On June 21st, 2008 at 10:11 pm .. Says: Do we beat the margarine till its puffy? Or do we just mix them in the bowl as it is? Thanks On June 22nd, 2008 at 5:33 pm Cat Says: You can do *anything* to these muffins, and they always turn out! No need to beat the margarine though! Good luck! On June 24th, 2008 at 10:14 pm Fati Says: Just made’em! They turned out pretty good. Except I think I taste the baking soda a bit more than I would like to. I measure one teaspoon with the special measuring spoons, so there is no chance I screwed it up. Maybe 1/2 teaspoon would be enough? What do you think? On June 26th, 2008 at 7:42 pm Krystal Says: These banana muffins are my absolute favourite. Hubby loves them too. He loves bananas in general but he forces himself to not touch the bunch so he can get me to bake these up. I have a big sweet tooth so I use the full cup of sugar. Absolutely amazing. On June 30th, 2008 at 1:13 am Rosanne Says: I tried these banana muffins a few days ago and they came out really well. Really tasty. My husband said he is totally impressed . On July 6th, 2008 at 3:25 pm Susanne Says: We tried your muffins yesterday with wholemeal flour and they just tst so wonderful “bananaie” delicious!!Thank you from Australia, where I am just about to bake the second double lot, as the first was eaten up in no time!! On July 6th, 2008 at 8:11 pm Beatrix Says: I’ve made this banana muffin 2 times already, and I just have to tell you, that this is the best banana muffin ever, and my husband and kids LOVE it!!! thanks so much for sharing the recipe. will try the carrot cake recipe also in the near future. On July 8th, 2008 at 3:05 pm Krissy Says: I love this recipe. my family really does enjoy it. but i htought id give it a little something extra and befor i put it in the oven i mixed sugar and cinamin and sprinkeled it ontop. it really added a little somthing exra. On July 10th, 2008 at 3:09 pm Maegen Says: Can you use self rising flour instead of ordinary flour and baking soda and powder?? On July 14th, 2008 at 10:59 am Tanya Says: I used self raising flour, with no baking powder or soda and they were just lovely!Even better the next day when they had gone all sticky on the top.Delicious and easy-I have so many disasters in the kitchen, but this was a success!Will be making them again and again and trying different flavours too On July 20th, 2008 at 12:41 am Danna Crawford Says: Thanks for sharing! My Twitter friend just sent a link to this site and its VERY COOL!Can’t wait to try this recipe! Blessings, Danna On July 20th, 2008 at 9:55 am Danita Says: These are great I added chopped apples nutmeg and blueberries. So yummy! I also used wheat flour and all purpose flour. I will make them again. On July 22nd, 2008 at 3:18 pm La Rêveuse Says: My house smells so amazingly good right now, and I am desperately trying to resist the urge to stuff 350 degree muffins into my mouth. Thank you–my batch made 12 perfect muffins. I did use liners (I have had no luck with greasing, and have become a muffin chicken so I line them all now), and some vanilla just because I wanted to recycle the bottle and get it out of my pantry. Thank you! Can’t wait to experiment with your recipe. I wonder if you could do it with crushed pineapple… On July 23rd, 2008 at 9:30 am La Rêveuse Says: They turned out fantastic. Light and tender day 1, more dense and deeper in flavor day 2. A keeper (and I had to fight my daughter for them.) On July 24th, 2008 at 6:27 pm BabyBeth Says: Thanks so much for this recipe. I made these muffins last week and they were a huge hit! I’m kind of glad for the heat we are having right now since it ripens bananas super quick. This recipe is going into the recipe box and I can’t wait to try your chocolate chip cookie recipe next. On July 25th, 2008 at 12:28 pm LeAnn Says: Thank you for sharing these recipes. I made these muffins today with my 3 year old. They turned out to be scrumptious and were a big hit in our family!! My bananas were small so I used 6. I also added some berries to half the batch. It was yummy with blue berries but this recipe can definitely stand alone!! Can this recipe work for a loaf as well? I Can’t wait to try the other recipes. On July 30th, 2008 at 8:03 pm Viviana Says: I love this recipe. It was soooo easy and fast. My 5 year old had a great time mashing the bananas and helping to mix everything together. We added pecans and chocolate chips. She couldn’t wait to try them (and she doesn’t try anything!!!!) I couldn’t believe when she polished off a muffin in no time. Thanks. I’ll be using this recipe over and over. On July 31st, 2008 at 2:55 am amy Says: wow so many good reviews not a single complaint im about to make them now thank u finally a simple recipe for great food On August 1st, 2008 at 12:51 pm katie Says: after reading everybody’s replies to these muffins and they seem like they would be easy to make i’m soo going to try em’! On August 1st, 2008 at 5:16 pm katie Says: I just made these muffins and they were FANTASTIC!!! my whole family loves them and i will DEFINATELY! make them agian…i added 1/2 a cup of wal nuts and 1 cup of sugar(not half its way better with 1) cooked them 20 minutes and they came out perfect…golden brown and delicious!! i would reccomend them to anybody who wants a great tasting – easy to make snack. On August 2nd, 2008 at 11:03 pm gabbi Says: soooooooooo cool!! On August 4th, 2008 at 1:25 pm Caroline Says: My Mom and I found your recipe when we did a google search. We made your recipe (with chocolate chips of course!) and we loved it. Thanks so much for posting it. We plan to pass it on to all of our friends. On August 4th, 2008 at 3:56 pm Lynn Says: Back to get this recipe. Printed it out about a year ago and somehow just recentley lost it in the shuffle. This is the best ever banana muffin recipe. You can alter it in many ways and it always comes out great. I think my favorite way is the original recipe. On August 11th, 2008 at 3:04 am fiona Says: Great recipe! Its so easy to follow….ive sprinkled chop almond..taste just great….will bake it again tonight..thanks On August 11th, 2008 at 7:53 am Melissa Says: I finally tried the carrot cake recipe a week or so ago and it was delicious, and I intend to make it again soon! I’ve made the muffins several times now, too, without the alterations I made that I mentioned in my other comment – only thing is I put a bit less baking soda and a bit less baking powder and salt – I sort of estimated how much I put in. I’m getting 10 big muffins instead of 12, or 12 with some that are smaller, but they are still so yummy… and easy and timely to make! On August 11th, 2008 at 11:03 pm Tre Says: I just wanted to say THANX for having the greatest recipe for banana muffins posted as the first hit on a google search for it. I have been using a pre made version for years adding in my older banana’s but I doubt we will ever go back to those again. They are still too hot to each but my sensitive olfactory has already give it a thumbs up and as such my mouth is salivating. I looked this up on a whim and I had EVERYTHING right here…. so thank you, thank you and by the way did I thank you, cause I really think you deserve it. Off to eat my muffin and browse your site On August 12th, 2008 at 8:21 pm Muffin Gal Says: This recipe is great! I definitely suggest using 4 bananas vs 3. Also, I added a pinch of cinnamon and lots of walnuts. So tasty! Next time I will add a sprinkle of sugar on top. Has anyone tried to use this recipe for banana bread? If so, did you change anything? How long did you bake it for? On August 14th, 2008 at 9:44 am Elijah and Momma Says: I just finished making them with my three year old son and it was super easy and fast enough to keep his attention. After we were done and they were in the oven he asked to give me a big hug and he said, “fank (thank)you Momma, fank you for making muffins with me, I wuv (love) muffins.”. And here’s the great part, he ate one (no small feat for a picky eater). And you know what I did to! On August 14th, 2008 at 1:42 pm Joan Says: We had three overripe banana’s that needed to be used, but a house full of people, so those three banana’s would not make enough muffins for everyone. I tripled the recipe, threw in a large can of pumpkin, added some cinnamon and powdered cloves. The batter seemed a bit thick to me and I was worried they would come out too dry, but OMG, they were heavenly! Those were the best muffins I’ve ever eaten. The texture was perfect, and they were so moist and delicious. This recipe is a treasure to hold onto forever On August 16th, 2008 at 10:06 pm Sue Says: I have a muffin every day at breakfast and because I love change, I always search for new recipes. I tried this recipe for the first time today and I have to say that these muffins, by far, are the most moist muffin that I have ever made. I used whole wheat flour instead of white, and also added mini chocolate chips to the recipe and they are absolutely delicious! I couldn’t believe how moist they are; I only used 3 bananas. This one is definitely a keeper. On August 19th, 2008 at 7:54 am Omenia Says: Made these last night and can only agree with everyone above: they were delicious yet easy to make! I used small muffin cases and got 22 yummy things. Most of them are gone already as I live with two people and we were all in the mood for lots of sweet stuff Right now I’m at work, eating a muffin of course, and thought I’d leave a message to say thank you!Next week: carrot cake….. On August 21st, 2008 at 6:41 am Linda Says: I only had 2 bananas so I added 1/2 cup of sweetened applesauce and reduced the sugar to 1/3 cup. Absolutely delicious! On August 24th, 2008 at 1:45 pm Kami Says: I Love, Love, Love to bake and I am all about easy. I have a banana bread recipe and the top is always goey and the bottom dry so I wanted to do muffins. I found this and I see everyone wrote how wonderful they are so I am trying it but just smelling them I am excited. I didn’t have a egg (I know how do I not have a egg) but I used 1/4 cup applesauce so wish me luck! On August 24th, 2008 at 2:08 pm dee mackinnon Says: I Had a whole bunch of overripe banana’s so I thought I’ll make a double batch of these muffins up and take them to work tomarrow. Well, they are not going to make it to work. I made one batch with chocolate chips and the second batch I added coconut and chopped pecans along with cinnamon,nutmeg and vanilla. I also substituted the sugar for brown sugar. Well family and nieghbors are eating warm from the oven faster than I can pull them out! I guess I have to keep this recipe and make again. Maybe next time I’ll wait until noones home! lol On August 25th, 2008 at 10:50 am Nancy Says: We cleaned out the freezer this morning and decided to use up the bananas. Went online to search for a recipe and this was the first one that popped up under “easy banana muffins”. They are super easy and my 3 year old Laura loves them! Yumm she says. When I saw the website Cat can cook, it reminded me up a post I just received last week on facebook regarding your jewelery line. I can’t believe its the same person! Way to go Catherine. I always knew you were super creative. Keep up the good work with the receipes.The only downside – Now I will have to use the rest of the frozen bananas to make protien shakes and get back on my diet after enjoying these with butter and of course a couple glasses of milk to wash it down!Nanc On August 25th, 2008 at 10:56 am Cat Says: YAY Nanc!!! You found me! That’s way too funny I am so glad Laura likes them Hope you are well!! Hugs from Guelph! On August 25th, 2008 at 9:47 pm Bonnie Says: This is the best recipe I have come across in a long time! You cannot miss! I replace the butter with yogurt and have added other types of fresh and or frozen fruit and they always taste perfect! I cannot say enough! On August 27th, 2008 at 9:47 am Kristen Says: Just made these muffins for a friend who just had a baby (her 7th boy!) – hoping she and her family enjoy them. They smell wonderful and look like they should be photographed and put in a magazine! I’ll whip them up again for my own family next time I have 4 overripe bananas…can’t wait! On August 30th, 2008 at 7:44 pm JB Says: These were great, I made them for my family and they loved them they usualy dont eat wat I make…. but since they smelled so good, they ate them all up:}I’m 14 and i didn’t stuff them up On September 3rd, 2008 at 4:59 am Libsie Says: This is my first time to actually bake… ok I already did bake crinkles… hahaha… I’m hoping this will turn out great… 10 mins to go…. On September 3rd, 2008 at 1:41 pm Krista Says: Just made them this afternoon and they were pretty easy to make. I switched it up a bit with whole wheat flour and a dash of vanilla. They turned out great, super moist! Totally forgot to add the walnuts in though… On September 3rd, 2008 at 7:42 pm Lizzie Says: These were awesome. I didn’t have 4 bananas, but put in a little applesauce and they are fluffy and moist. Thanks for the recipe! On September 7th, 2008 at 9:40 pm Jyandeep Says: Hey..Great recipe…Everyone seems to have a different reason for making this. Mine was a lil weird . i am veggie and unfortunately dont find muffin without egg in stores so thought i will bake myself. Second reason is the weird one, i found muffin pan in store on sale and bought it. After lying in my kitchen for several days, my wife asked, what for u bought it ? . And I searched the net and gave this one a try.Mistakes:I tried to use Blender to mix the contents. Didnt work though and because of which i had to clean more and it took more time.Results:Couldnt believe my eyes, i did see them in store, but in my oven. Its just awesome !!! great smell and shape.. I didnt eat ‘em but thanks a ton for this …Jyandeep On September 8th, 2008 at 7:10 pm Libsie Says: G-R-E-A-T-! On September 9th, 2008 at 5:25 pm Diane Says: my incredibly picky husband loves these muffins. Thank you. I have made a million muffins. On September 10th, 2008 at 5:05 pm Shannon Says: I have an awesome banana bread recipe, but it makes terrible muffins. Googled for a muffin recipe tonight b/c I want to freeze the few escapee muffins my husband and I don’t eat! This is great, and thank you for sharing it. We added dried cranberries for extra flavor and nutrition. Yum. On September 15th, 2008 at 6:35 pm Cat Says: I am going to make a double batch tomorrow, and in one of the batches, I am going to attempt adding Cocoa Powder, to make Chocolate Banana Muffins! MMmmmmm!!! have I mentioned I am a Choco-holic? I will post to tell how this experiment goes. I anticipate great things! Honestly, please believe me when I say this recipe is VERY SIMPLE, DELICIOUS, and you probably have everything in your pantry ready to make them! I make them with my children nearly every week…we all LOVE THEM! ~Cat On September 15th, 2008 at 8:26 pm Andrea Says: wow just made these and theyre fabulous! On September 16th, 2008 at 2:12 am Lori Says: I have to admit, at first I was a skeptic. I’ve found tons of recipes online claiming to be “the best”, but I decided to give a shot. I was shocked at how truly amazing they tasted!!! These are the best banana muffins I’ve ever tasted, and they were simple to make. I’m sharing this recipe with everyone I know!! On September 16th, 2008 at 10:08 pm KATHY Says: I MADE THESE MUFFINS AND FOUND THEM TO BE ABSOLUTELY OUT OF THIS WORLD. I USED HALF WHITE FLOUR AND HALF WHEAT AND ADDED WHEAT GERM. I ALSO ADDED WALNUTS AND CHOCOLATE CHIPS. OH, I ALSO ADDED 1 TSP. CINNOMON. SOOOOOOOOOO GOOD.I’VE BEEN TELLING MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS ABOUT THIS SCRUMPTIOUS RECIPE EVER SINCE I MADE THEM. I PLAN ON MAKING THEM ALL THE TIME AND TRYING ALL SORTS OF VARIATIONS. On September 21st, 2008 at 9:20 am Sarah Says: Great recipe! I didn’t put any suger in mine at all, and they were still sweet. Maybe not sweet enough for some people, but sweet enough for me! I also made them with whole weat flour, but I’m a health freak. SO GOOD, Thanks! On September 22nd, 2008 at 1:24 pm Kate Says: I “googled” for a new banana muffin recipe and your recipe just said “try me!”…..so I did. Almost too easy to be true! Will pass it on. I tried the original recipe, with half sugar, half Splenda mix. Tried one for taste and it was good, but will serve them tomorrow after they have had time to equilibrate, and they’ll be great! Thanks for sharing your recipe and thanks to everyone’s posts for variations. This is a recipe I’ll be sending to 10 year old granddaughters to try. On September 23rd, 2008 at 10:33 am susteph Says: wow, glad to see comments are still being added to this post. made these this morning. i only had 2 ripe bananas, but i had 3 peeled cortland apples in the fridge, which i reduced to applesauce and added instead of the extra bananas. the muffins came out kind of loose and overmoist, but they are totally delicious. also, because the apples were a little tart, i used the full cup of sugar. i will be saving this recipe and making it again. thanks, cat! On September 25th, 2008 at 6:24 pm Tammy Nicol Says: Hi there! I’m a googler who found your recipe & thanks goodness I did!!! I have been without an oven for 1-1/2 years and have been looking forward to baking again. My daughters loved these muffins because they tasted “yummy”!! I didn’t have any baking soda, so I did a substitution – 1/4tsp baking soda and 1/2 tsp cream of tartar. I also added 1 tbsp of flax seed for extra nutrition. I look forward to checking out your other recipes!Cheers,Tammyfrom BC On September 25th, 2008 at 10:58 pm Hannah O'Driscoll Says: These were fabby delicious!YUM YUM GET ME SOME On September 26th, 2008 at 10:41 pm Nandna Says: This recipe is awesome … My husband (Jyandeep , he had given his comments above) recently developed baking as a hobby …he baked this and i loved it…so much that we made them some more times…Thanks for this recipe….

On November 3rd, 2008 at 5:13 am Radhi Says: Hey, i stumbled upon your website whilist looking for a banana muffin recepie. I am 14 and pretty much hopless at baking. I need a good banana recepie that I could use to make at school tomorrow – and yours looks like THE ONE! =) But being the hopless my-muffins-never-turn-out-good person I am, I would like to just check about a few things…what flour is needed for this recepie? & how many do these make? If they make over 10 muffins, is there a way i could lessen it to maybe 8 muffins or something(because i can’t pack so many from school to home)-if yes how do i go about doing that? thanks for this recepie though! it looks like it’ll just save me some panic about wondering what to cook at school!

The muffins turned out alright i must say. I lessen the sugar to 1/4 cup and 4 small bananas. The sweetness and the moisture is just nice for me but the muffins somehow smell a little flour. Any advice on what you think could have gone wrong? Cheers Cass On November 16th, 2008 at 6:28 pm Cat Says: They smell like flour eh? Hmm…absolutely no idea. I have tried them every which way imaginable, and have never ever had an issue… Do try them again Cass, perhaps using one of the variations, like applesauce in place of the bananas to make aple muffins, or pumpkin muffins but using canned pumpkin? Best of luck, and to all of you who have taken the time to comment, thanks a *bunch* haha!! Bunch, get it?? On November 17th, 2008 at 10:39 am Zazu Says: The best muffins yet!!!!!!!!!!! On November 18th, 2008 at 8:53 am Allison Says: There are so many rave reviews I was starting to think they were fake. But, these are, in fact, the best muffins in the world! and I know how to make them worth 2 POINTS!!Replace the fat with1/3 cup apple sauce and 3/4 cup white flour and 3/4 cup whole wheat flour and- Voila- 2 point muffins. Yum! On November 18th, 2008 at 9:51 pm Jaffa Says: So Easy and “Deewishess” On November 19th, 2008 at 8:43 am Stephanie Lawrence Says: Well I did mean to follow the recipe, but once again got carried away!I halved the sugar again to 1/4 c and reduced the butter by 1 T, substituting 4 oz stale milk chocolate Hershey kissees (which I melted together with the butter). I didn’t taste much chocolate in the final product; however this is the best, moistest muffin I’ve made yet.I used approx 4 frozen bananas in this, and I intend to try it with the pumpkin (that’s frozen too) as suggested, then some not-so-tasty applesauce I have languishing in the fridge. A great de-clutter recipe! On November 19th, 2008 at 2:56 pm Shirlee Says: First batch is in oven, added cinnimon and ok weird almond granola…forgot the sugar …oops that’s what mis en place is for huh? The second batch has pumpkin and sweet potatoes with pecans. Added ginger, nutmeg and cinnimon. OH yeah and the sugar…It’s a great basic recipe that you can do anything with…good job Cat!!!

I used 4 bananas and reduced sugar to about 3 tbsp dark brown sugar, and the melted butter to about 1/4 cup. Also replaced about 1/2 cup flour with 1/4 cup ground golden flax seed and a few tbsps of raw wheat germ. I threw in about a tbsp of apple butter to compensate for the reduced fat. The muffins are moist and fluffy and my roommates love them. This is a really great recipe to play around with.

I later realized that I used softened butter as opposed to melted butter. Could this have caused my outcome? Thanks for sharing. On December 26th, 2008 at 4:38 pm Cat Says: Hmmmm…not sure what happened, but I would be willing to bet that it was indeed the softened butter…it needs to be melted I hope you’ll come back, and if it works out again, please let me know!

So moist and fluffy. This recipe has been printed and entered into my food bible. Thanks On January 8th, 2009 at 5:03 am Dixie Says: hi i used this recipe and the only modification I had was subbing the plain flour with self rising flour. I was also careful not to overstir, but my muffins still turned out flat. It tasted good but not light and fluffy, most importantly it lacked the dome shaped top of most muffins! Can anyone help me on this??? On January 9th, 2009 at 11:27 am deb Says: These are now a staple in this house. I sometimes make adjustments depending on my mood. I have used half white flour and half oatmeal, it gave them a whole new texture and were yummy. I also add choc chips when I make them. I also use 5-6 bananas and use 1/4 c of butter. they just out great every time. I love this recipe.

I’ld never baked anything in my life but wanted to give it a go in return for their kindness and helping me to settle in…… thank god I came across this recipe – these muffins were easy to make and went down famously- and quickly! – they are gorgeous, even my hubby was impressed with his new baker wife…. he usually does the cooking, I’m that rubbish! – Well better go, off to make some more….. On January 18th, 2009 at 4:38 am Karina Thomson Says: So easy! I used 3/4 cup of sugar and added 2 diced, partly cooked apples. Soooo good. To do the apples i just peeled, diced, put in a bowl with some water and microwaved for approx 1-2 minutes (depending on microwave power) until they were soft but still had a bit of crunch. I couldn’t resist and ate one (or two) while they were still hot and the top was a little crisp and sort of caramelised. OMG! LOVE IT!!! On January 21st, 2009 at 8:47 pm Marci Says: I cooked them tonight with my roommate and they were great. We changed them up a bit using 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, 1/2 while flour, 1/2 rolled oats instead of 1 1/2 cups white flour and they came out great. Thanks for the recipe, we loved them!

I add blueberries to mine…. yum yum On January 26th, 2009 at 1:12 pm Marilyn Says: I confess, I did not have faith in these, but they are PERFECT! I will definitely replace my former banana muffin recipe with these. I used the following: 1/3 c butter3/4 c golden sugar1 large egg3.5 bananas (1 small, 2 large, and a 1/2)1 tsp vanilla 1.5 c stoneground spelt flour1 tsp b soda1 tsp b powdersaltabout 2/3 c chocolate chips I also filled seven muffin cups to the brim and sprinkled brown sugar on top because my son asked for big muffins with crunchy tops. That’s exactly how they turned out. On January 26th, 2009 at 1:15 pm Marilyn Says: Oops, I didn’t melt the butter though. I beat the egg in my Kitchenaid, added the butter and beat that some more, then I added the sugar, beating again, and then the bananas bit by bit. (And then threw in a little vanilla.) I mixed the dry ingredients in a measuring cup and folded them carefully with the chocolate chips into the wet ingredients, leaving the batter quite dry and flour-y.

I made them this morning with my 3 yr. old. He loved them. Thanks!! On February 19th, 2009 at 5:35 pm Johanna Says: Thank you, Cat for a wonderful muffin recipe. Finally, one I can stick with. I usually search for and use different ones whenever I’m baking and they turn out all right, but this one I really loved and the kids did as well. I did make a few additions…I had 5 bananas instead of 4 so I used all 5 and I added a tsp or so of cinnamon because I just love the taste of cinnamon in my baked foods. Also, I threw in a handful of chocolate chips at the end. Turned out great…very moist tasting. I’m going to try your applesauce muffins next time. We have a couple jars of applesauce that the baby doesn’t seem to like as much anymore. Would be a good use for it, huh? Thanks again. On February 19th, 2009 at 9:43 pm JRas Says: Let me start by saying that I’m the furthest thing from a cook – especially a baker! : ) I made these muffins last night (so that we wouldn’t have to throw away our almost rotten bananas) and they were so easy! They tasted better then I could’ve imagined! Thanks so much for the recipe and helpful tips, 1/2 cup of sugar was perfect (not too sweet) and I added the little bit of cinnamon too…they were just delicious! On March 5th, 2009 at 12:40 am TK Says: Wow these were so easy and I DO NOT BAKE! I had too many bananas and with the economy the way it is I just could not waste them. I made a few alterations hope you dont mind!I used 4 huge bananasI substituted Raw Sugar ( almost 1/2 cup) and Stevia ( Lower calorie)I used whole wheat organic flourI did everything else the same as listedThese were so incredibly moist and not very sweet, the taste and sweetness was all banana! I am so proud of myself considering I have really never baked anything other then slice and bake cookies!I am bookmarking this site…. Thanks On March 6th, 2009 at 12:35 am Liza Says: These muffins came out super moist and not too sweet like most of the other recipes. I sprinkled some brown sugar and walnuts on top just before I put them into the oven to add my own touch. I like my muffins larger so I made 8 large muffins instead of 12 and increased the baking time to 30 mins. This recipe is definately going into my favorites. On March 6th, 2009 at 11:04 pm Brad Says: Excellent quick recipe!I used wholemeal flour & added 1/2 a cup of chopped dried dates briefly soaked in boiling water.My boys loved them (too much!)thanks On March 10th, 2009 at 3:55 pm Natasha Conradie Says: Your awesome Banana Muffins have just come out the oven, they smell so good!

And so simple. Proof once again that uncomplicated recipes can be the best ones! On March 18th, 2009 at 2:59 pm Amanda Says: I made these today, they were pretty good. They’re simpleingredients that every household has which makes it even better. On March 18th, 2009 at 10:06 pm Corrie Says: YUMMY! You are absolutely right, that was so easy! I have been wanting to try banana muffins, then my husband said how much he liked them, so I HAD to make them just for him! They were great. I added a splash of vanilla! Thank you for posting this recipe you made my evening!! On March 19th, 2009 at 8:20 pm kriss Says: I love this recipe. I needed a way to use alot of bananas that were about to spoil and this recipe makes real banana muffins. Here is a twist that makes them sing. I put in a teaspoon of lemon or lime zest and the juice of it in the mash. The acidity keeps the banana from turning black in the muffin. On March 20th, 2009 at 8:16 am Vikki Says: These are the tastiest muffins. My kids like them so much that as soon as the bananas turn a little black they beg me to let them help make muffins. Then as soon as they cool from the oven…they just cant stop eating them! Thanks On March 21st, 2009 at 10:06 pm elana Says: Wow these are good. I do like to bake and have a tried and true banana bread recipe, but this ones blows it away. Outstanding. I ended up using 5 small organic bananas. 11 muffins were gone in 2 hours. My kids were sneaking them when I wasn’t looking. That 12th muffin….I hid it for me in the freezer. On March 22nd, 2009 at 4:10 pm Hendra Says: Hey Cat, I came on the internet yester looking for a banana muffin recipe. This was the first website that I clicked on..I thought it was quite simple since I had everything on hand.. The only thing, I added a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg.. to your recipe.. wow!! my muffin’s came out perfect.. I can’t even believe it.. I am not great at baking unless the stuff came ready-mix in a box.. I am encouraged to bake more since the banana muffin. from my family to yours.. thank you and happy baking. On April 1st, 2009 at 12:16 pm Claudia Murdoch Taylor Says: This is the third or fourth time I will be making this great, easy recipe. LOVE IT! Definitely with the chopped nuts and chocolate… love all the other suggestions, and will try at some point as well. What a great way to use up those overripe bananas that happen every so often. Thank you so much! On April 4th, 2009 at 7:06 pm Jax Says: These were great! I did a little inventing of my own and added pineapple and coconut too! Love it. Thanks!

Simple, basic ingredients, and thankfully no cooking oil. My husband loves to take muffins to work for breakfast every morning, so I am always looking for new and better recipes, and will be keeping this in my files. (BTW – I love the artwork at the top of the page. Nice web page design!) On April 10th, 2009 at 11:21 pm Mimi Says: It was great. Thanks for your recipe. I will try to cook it. On April 12th, 2009 at 11:26 am Stacy Says: Um, I baked these this morning, pre-coffee consumption, and forgot the butter . . . all of it. I put it in the microwave to melt and forgot about it. I also mixed all the ingredients together without separately mixing the dry and wet . . . yeah, I knew better but I blame the lack of morning caffeine. Besides all the errors, they still turned out delicious!! My toddlers are wolfing them down and I’m enjoying one as well. :0) -Stacy On April 15th, 2009 at 11:04 am Shar Says: Glad I stumbled upon this site, I am not disappointed! These muffins are now my favourite. Light and fulffy inside, not many ingredients, ready before you know it. On April 16th, 2009 at 8:18 pm Benita Says: Ever since I came across this site last year, I have been making these muffins weekly it seems! I have varied them with so many things and have never yet failed. Sometimes I just put everything in! Cinnamon, nutmeg, coconut, coconut oil (instead of butter), cocoa powder, choc chips, brown sugar or agave (instead of white sugar), walnuts, vanilla and most recently a few tablespoons of thick natural yogurt which adds extra moistness.. plus as I have a wheat allergy I have always used spelt flour instead. These muffins have become a staple and since my boyfriend is such a fussy eater- to know that he loves them makes me hide hidden extras like flaxseeds etc with the last batch I made, he left me 2…2 muffins!.. in 2 days! (meaning he polished off 5 muffins each day!!.. lol) On April 18th, 2009 at 11:01 am Chelsea Says: I added streusel on the top: 2/3 cup packed brown sugar, 2 T butter, and 4 T flour. They came out ABSOLUTELY amazing this way! Best muffins I have ever made! On April 18th, 2009 at 10:04 pm Melissa Says: I just made these and my family loved them!! Thanks so much for the recipe! (i made them with a full cup of sugar) and I sprinkled alittle sweetened shredded coconut on top before baking them. On April 19th, 2009 at 6:50 pm Yas Says: Great recipe and I made it so quickly! I didn’t have any baking powder and used just baking soda (increased a little) and it still turned out great. I also substituted a quarter of the all-purpose flour with white wheat flour and it was fine too. On April 20th, 2009 at 1:22 am Lynne Sumner Says: Hi I am from England and these muffins sound great, but we use gramms or ounces and I am not sure how much is in a cup? My cups vary in size, would appreciate some help pleaseLynne On April 23rd, 2009 at 8:09 pm Chloe Says: These muffins are great! I used two cups of self-raising flour instead of the baking soda/powder and plain flour and also added some chocolate chips – they came out perfectly. I’ve never made such delicious muffins before. Thanks for the fantastic recipe! On April 24th, 2009 at 5:48 pm cheryl Lim Says: I made the muffins with brown sugar instead of white sugar, whole wheat flour instead of white flour, and added strawberries as well as bananas – also I left some little chunks of banana and didn’t mash them all up. They tasted awesome and a bit more healthy! Thanks! On April 25th, 2009 at 6:20 am Evelyn Says: This muffin recipe is sooo perfect. Me and my mum just finished making them. Thanks. On April 29th, 2009 at 12:10 pm lena Says: I forgot the butter. I can’t believe I made these muffins and forgot to put the butter in. Oddly – still edible. Not as good as with butter, but no surprise there. Also, regular recipe, with butter, is 180 calories when batter as described equates to 12 muffins. Coolness. On May 9th, 2009 at 6:14 pm Ashley Says: these sound great and easy since 2marrows mothers day im gonna make my mom breakfast in bed these sound perfect for the finishing touch On May 10th, 2009 at 1:37 pm skiddysmith Says: i made these muffins yesterday evening with the best adaptation i had to share! instead of using all butter i opted to use half coconut oil and half butter. i then added a bit of shredded coconut to the batter. as well as a splash of vanilla. i also used 1 cup of flour and 1/2 cup of quick oats. i sprinkled the tops of the muffins with shredded coconut as well as 1 banana chip on top before baking. they tasted fantastic!! i may be posting on my blog very soon: http://www.skiddysmith.com/glamhaus thanks!! On May 10th, 2009 at 8:31 pm starlady Says: Very tasty! I used oil in place of the melted butter and subbed 1/2 cup of whole wheat, because I had both to use up — turned out great! Thanks! On May 12th, 2009 at 1:44 pm Heather Says: These are great! I made mine with splenda and added some white chocolate chips!! On May 12th, 2009 at 9:08 pm Elle Says: I just tried baking these banana muffins and they tasted great. VERY MOIST…but just curious, did it come out flat-top or pointed like the picture? Mine came out flat-top and was disappointing…I followed the exact recipe. Can anyone please help me out?? On May 14th, 2009 at 7:55 am Sherry Says: do you know the nutrients in one muffin?? or at least how many calories? I can figure it up when I make them but I thought I’d ask just in case you already knew On May 14th, 2009 at 6:50 pm Beverley Says: Got caught with some bananas, looked on the internet for a recipe. Yours was the first. I clicked on. They looked simple enough. They are the best I have ever had and YOUR recipe is going into my favorites. You are to be commended!! On May 14th, 2009 at 6:53 pm Beverley Says: These are the best banana muffins I have ever made and tasted. This recipe is going into my favorites!! I have been asked for a copy. Thank you so much On May 15th, 2009 at 1:58 pm Sunny Fong Says: Turned out perfect. I like moister muffins so thanks for the tips. Made them for parents. Hope they like them. On May 18th, 2009 at 12:32 am Liz Says: I just made these – they are delicious and super easy! On May 18th, 2009 at 2:40 pm Johanna Says: My daughter mentioned your site and I tried the banana recipe just this afternoon. The muffins turned out FANTASTIC (none of my previously baked muffins ever tasted as good, were as moist or had that perfect sort of muffin consistency).I like the fact that the sugar amount was halved (I already do that in most of my baking). As I only had two bananas left, I added two Tablespoons of yogurt and about a quarter cup of orange juice for moisture. Perfect result.I could taste the soda/salt slightly (I actually measured) so I will reduce that next time (as my usual habit). Definitely this will become my future basic muffin recipe! THANKS On May 21st, 2009 at 12:26 pm Julia Says: Awesome recipe, thanks! I added a full cup of sugar, a little extra butter, baking soda and used medium-ripe bananas, and they turned out delicious! I’ll definitely be coming back to your site again for inspiration. On May 23rd, 2009 at 12:29 pm Fudgie Bakes » Blog Archive » Fudgie’s Banana Muffins Says: [...] good use of our rotting bananas. I based this recipe on the one posted by Catherine Robertson of Cat Can Cook, however I modified it enough that I’m confident calling it my [...] On May 25th, 2009 at 11:37 pm Bella Says: For those who lack a bit of experience baking soda is bicarbonate of soda. Also sieve all the dry ingredients a couple of times to get air into it. When its time to put it together take 1/3 of flour mixture and mix into wet ingredients and then gently fold in the rest of the flour. If you over handle the batter they will be tough. I added som lemon zest and topped with small bits of dark chocolate. Like everyone else no need to look further for a banana muffin recipie. On May 27th, 2009 at 6:10 am detti Says: that’s the second time i try this banana muffin,but this time i added a little bit of cinnamon as an extra, and it’s almost better than it was without the cinnamon:) On May 27th, 2009 at 10:13 am Moira Says: This recipe was delicious, my family loved the muffins. They were so light and fluffy and 1/2 cup of sugar was plenty. I will defintly add this recipe to my book. On May 27th, 2009 at 10:19 am Rachel Says: Love these muffins!!! Very moist and delicious. I made a few substitutions, based on what we had on hand. Instead of 3-4 bananas, I used 2 bananas and 1/2 cup of applesauce. Wasn’t too banana-y and still moist. Also, I used 3/4 cup brown sugar instead of white sugar (I was out). Loved how the brown sugar gave it a rich taste. I crushed some nuts and sprinkled them on top before baking. It gave it a crunchy top and creamy bottom. On May 27th, 2009 at 3:50 pm Joanna Says: Oh my Gosh!!! Perfect muffins! Simple and tastes great. I got 24 small muffins out of the first batch. I have 5 children between the ages of 11months and 5 years. They were the perfect size for their little tummies. On May 27th, 2009 at 8:28 pm Kitchen pursuits « Becoming Dawn Says: [...] Alas, with my status set firmly to “ill,” I didn’t ponder anything too creative, though I did make two small indulgences… easy peesey banana muffins and delicious coffee body scrub. Perhaps that sounds more fabulous than it is. The muffins were a repeat of a batch I made last week, from Cat Can Cook. [...] On May 27th, 2009 at 11:26 pm Teresa Says: I just made these muffins w/ a 1/2 c splenda instead of sugar and 1 and 1/2 c of unbleached whole wheat flour and they came out amazing!

They are fantastic. Very moist and delicious. My co-workers will love them! On May 31st, 2009 at 6:53 pm Rebecca Says: These muffins are soooo wonderful! But, just to add a twist, I did some improvisation. My favorite combination is strawberry-banana, so I added 2 T. strawberry-kiwi juice to the batter while mixing. And then, I sprinkled granola on top for a crunchy topping. And now, they are super wonderful! Try it! You’ll love it, too! On June 1st, 2009 at 4:28 pm SABRINA Says: DELICIOUS MUFFINS On June 1st, 2009 at 10:23 pm Fatima Says: Hey! Thanks for posting a wonderful recipe.

Im excited to try out your banana muffin recipe. I just want to ask what is the equivalent of the the 4 bananas in cups? Thanks! On June 5th, 2009 at 3:01 pm Ariell Says: YUMMY!!! :- ) These have the perfect amount of sugar. I made another banana muffin recipe last week and they were waaaay too sweet. Blech! I think they used 1 cup of sugar. I modified the recipe slightly though. I used oil instead of melted butter and substituted ground flax seed for 1/2 cup of the flour. It gives them a nice nutty taste and makes them a bit healthier. And I added:1 tsp. cinnamon1/2 tsp. allspice1 tsp vanilla On June 7th, 2009 at 3:12 am Danni Says: Unbelievably awesome! My b/friend was stoked, first batch of muffins after a long long run of rockcakes thanks for getting rid of my muffin curse!! On June 8th, 2009 at 12:46 pm Mary Says: Love these muffins. I added 1 cup walnuts to them. My daughter asked that I make them for a bake sale. They sold out immediately. On June 9th, 2009 at 12:46 pm Angela Says: This was absolutely the best in the world recipe for a banana muffin! Unbelievable. I used only 1/2 cup of sugar and that was enough. I have put this in my book and have already given them away for “thank you for a great school year” at my kids’ schools! I took them hot! You must try this one. Angela On June 9th, 2009 at 2:08 pm Jess Says: I just made these today and they are amazing.I will be making these again! On June 9th, 2009 at 3:22 pm Kat A Says: LOVE these muffins and they live up to their easy and quick billing. I added some vanilla, nuts and chocolate and they are so yummy. I usually freeze my overripe bananas to use for banana bread as it makes the loaf more moist and the only thing I noticed doing it that way is that if they are not completely thawed, the butter will harden in chunks once added. I just zapped the mixture in the nuker for a few seconds and then it was fine.Thanks Cat On June 10th, 2009 at 12:17 am Jill Says: Yes I tried these today. I freeze ripe bananas so when you need to use them. Defrost for about an hour then squeeze them out of the skin, its mashed banana in a tube. On June 10th, 2009 at 3:00 pm kazbird Says: oooh, this recipe sounds great! as a complete beginner muffin-maker, i haven’t got any baking powder or soda (in fact, i’m not even sure what it does)! cat – can you tell me if i can use self raising flour and how much a cup is in grams/ounces please? thank you – i can’t wait to make these little muffins of delight! On June 11th, 2009 at 8:44 pm Flutes and Vegetables Says: These are REALLLLLLLY delicious! I have made this recipe 3 times in the last 2 days, and they are fantastic!! Easy, delicious, and relatively healthy.

without burning the outside. I have added almost everything I can think of to these wonderful muffins but for the people I bake for they love chocolate chips and peanut butter chips.
