Got some overripe bananas? I have a great use for them: banana bread muffins! These delicious breakfast muffins are basically a banana bread in a muffin form. This easy recipe combines fresh ripe bananas with butter, sugar, egg and flour to bake into an amazing-smelling tender and moist banana muffin – what a great way to start your day!

If you ever throw out bananas that have turned splotchy brown, you must print out this recipe, Pin it and save it to your phone! By not using up those bananas, you are missing out on such delicious breakfast. Who needs to eat boring cereal for breakfast when you can have freshly baked homemade banana bread muffins? Instead of going to waste, these overripe bananas can be turned into gourmet muffins – with very little effort!

Even if you don’t normally bake, it is very easy to make banana bread muffins. Everything is mixed in one dish, and if you don’t own a mixer you can just use the fork to whisk all the ingredients :) This recipe is virtually foolproof, and even the novice cook can make these muffins with ease.

After you taste these banana bread muffins, you will buy too many bananas next time you go to the grocery store, just so you can have an excuse to make another batch of these tasty muffins – someone’s got to use up those overripe bananas, you know ;) This recipe makes 12 huge bakery-style banana bread muffins. Their texture is moist and tender, and the taste is sweet, rich and full of banana flavor!

These delicious muffins have an amazing deep banana taste! This easy recipe uses up the whole 3 bananas! I’ve seen some banana muffin recipes that use just 1 banana – what kind of banana muffin is that? My recipe is the real deal – with 3 bananas in a batch of 12 muffins I guarantee you’ll get that banana flavor that you are looking for!

Did you know that you can easily freeze muffins to enjoy them for breakfast every morning? To freeze these banana bread muffins, just take them out of the muffin tin, put on a plate in a freezer for 1 hour, then transfer to large freezer bag. Thaw the muffins overnight on the counter, and they’ll be ready for you for breakfast!
