Banana Muffins

This recipe has been in my family for over 30 years! I kid you not! It is honestly the best recipe I have ever had and I highly recommend you trying them today.

These banana muffins are light, fluffy and moist, not your typical dense muffin.  They’re also easy to make, one bowl for everything, you just can’t go wrong.

Look how simple the ingredients are for this one, you really cannot mess this up.

Firstly, you cream the butter and the sugar together:

You then beat in the eggs one at a time:

Throw the dry ingredients in:

Lastly add the mashed bananas:

You can then add walnuts and/or raisins but we prefer them without.

As you can see this all happened in one bowl with a spatula.

You can make these into muffins like I did or into a loaf pan, whatever your preference is, but make them!  They’re honestly really good.

Melt a little butter and mix in some sugar and cinnamon for the topping (don’t do like me and my picture melt the butter first).

There you have it delicious, fluffy, light, not too sweet banana muffins, adding butter is optional of course and totally not needed!
