Easy Banana Bread Muffins

An easy, one-bowl recipe for moist and flavorful banana bread muffins.Easy banana bread muffins drizzled in chocolate on a cooling rack

This is the perfect recipe to use up overripe, brown bananas.  I go grocery shopping every weekend and never seem to buy the right number of bananas.  One week we’ll run out by Wednesday, the next week we’ll have several overripe bananas sitting in the fruit bowl by Saturday.  When a banana turns too brown and mushy, I don’t really like eating them (I’m picky about my banana texture), so I’ll peel them, put them in a Ziploc bag, and throw in the freezer.  By doing this, I don’t waste bananas and always have bananas on hand to make these easy banana bread muffins!

All you need to do is:
1) Preheat the oven
2) Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray (or use cupcake liners)
3) Mix together the ingredients
4) Put the batter in the muffin tins
5) Bake!
If you’re using the optional chocolate chip drizzle, then melt the chocolate and drizzle over the top.  These muffins would also be delicious with chocolate chips, pecans, or walnuts mixed into the batter.

    You can’t beat a little bit of banana bread. I like that these are done in muffins and I am loving that chocolate drizzle.

    I know exactly the problem, I struggle to buy the right number of bananas too. Love this as a way to use some overripe ones- I much prefer the idea of muffins to a loaf.
