When it comes to finding a delicious muffin recipe, I’m so glad that you’re here. These Delicious Banana Nut Muffins are super easy to make and are certain to stand out from the rest. I might be a bit partial because they’re one of my favorites, but I really do think that you’re going to love them as well.

Did you know lately banana bread has been searched for and made almost as much as any quick bread?  Yes, I have a great recipe for that, but muffins are just fun to eat.  My Buttery Banana Nut Bread

It’s time to spoil your tastebuds with this simple homemade muffin recipe!

Can you use unripened bananas for this recipe?

You can but ripened bananas are the best. They’ll mash easier and just tend to have a much more sweeter taste and flavor. Plus, let’s be honest…we probably all have a few ripe bananas just sitting around on the corner, begging to be used. 

How do I know when my muffins are done cooking in the oven?

Once the timer goes off, take a toothpick and stick it into the middle of a muffin. If the toothpick comes out clean, they’re done and ready to be pulled. If the toothpick has some batter on it still, they’re going to need a tad bit more baking time.
