Best Ever Banana Nut Muffins {with chocolate chips of course}
December 28, 2010 by Shelley
I LOVE the week in between Christmas and New Years. For my little family this week means movies, playing, and sleeping in! Spoil your family this week and treat them to this EASY breakfast. This re-post is one of my VERY favorite recipes. Enjoy!

One of my ‘secret’ recipes that I often impress overnight guests with is my homemade {sorta} banana muffin recipe. Beats any ‘box’ out there by a long shot and is basically just as easy.
Bisquick is the secret.
Do you have a little helper that loves to mash, mash, mash? I do! 
Add a few simple ingredients,…
and in minutes…
Ready to serve…
Wait Mr! Not yet!…
Okay, now.
One Happy family.
Ingredients
- 4 Medium Mashed Bananas
- 3 T Vegetable Oil
- 1 Large Egg
- 1/3 C Sugar
- 2 C Bisquick Baking Mix
- ½ C chopped nuts {if desired}
- 1/2 C chocolate chips {if desired}
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400. Paper line or grease a 12 muffin tin.
- Beat bananas, oil, egg and sugar in large bowl until well blended. Stir in baking mix, nuts, and chocolate chips just until baking mix is moistened (batter will be lumpy). Divide batter into muffin tin.
- Bake about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool muffins in pan 5 minutes; remove from pan to wire rack. Serve warm {and with milk please} ;)
FYI – Ripe bananas freeze well. Mash, adding 1 T lemon juice for each cup of banana to prevent them from darkening. For this recipe, freeze in 2 cup quantities
Why not surprise your Valentine with a Muffin Breakfast in Bed?! He’ll love you for it.

I love that pic of your little guy praying. This looks so good. You are welcomed to bring me a batch:)
I’ve been noticing that Shelley, the amazing Kitchen Designer, is the one doing most of the cooking posts. You ARE an amazing cook! (You must have learned in from your mother.) something I tried just a few days ago – I sprayed the inside of muffin papers with cooking spray, and no more chunks of muffin got stuck in the paper!
I love chocolate chips in banana muffins or any muffin for that matter
I’m so excited to try these! I have tons of frozen bananas and this recipe looks super easy! Thanks again Shell!
I just wanted you to know that I love your blog and my family loved these muffins this weekend! I made them for Valentine’s Day with some heart sprinkles and they were perfect – for desert and for breakfast! I appreciate everything you post on here!
Thank you for the wonderful recipe. My family loved these. I made them for Valentine’s Day with heart sprinkles. Your blog is the best!
Shelley-
Made your muffins this morning for my family…big hit! Thanks for a great recipe.(FYI – I used the “heart healthy”/lower fat version of Bisquick – and they turned out great.)
Yummy! I love the combination of bananas AND chocolate chips. MmmmmM!

Made yesterday and LOVE LOVE LOVE them! Kids, husband and I gobbled them up! Making another batch soon! Thanks for the recipe
Yum!!! Thanks for sharing the recipe. I always have so many bananas and never know what to do with them. Now I know!
these were so easy, I made them as a last minute activity with the kids. I didn’t have chocolate chips so I used peanut butter chips. I added a squeeze of chocolate syrup and flax seed mill. They were great! thanks
I just made these today Shelley and they were delish! Thanks for the recipe! I only had 3 bananas, but they still turned out so yummy! I love the pictures in this post : )
Today is the DAY! I’m making these for breakfast TODAY!!

These muffins were terrific. They were actually the most beautiful muffins I have ever made. Thanks for the great recipe.
Made these muffins this morning and they are the BEST EVER!! Thanks for the recipe.
Yummmy! That sounds so good, thanks for sharing!
Hi, love your site. Its very inspiring and so full of good stuff. Love your post on the Banana-nut muffins and I am downright tempted to make this right away. I live in Mumbai, India and Bisquick is not available here. What is a good substitute that will give me similar results as the one above? Pls do’t keep me waiting too long (already dreading the time difference) as the temptations is too hard to resists
Thanks…
Yummy! Just found this site/recipe! Question – can these be frozen? and if so, any tricks? IF/WHEN I bake, I usually make it an all day event, but since there’s only 2 us at home, the baked goods need to be able to be pulled out of the freezer –
I just had so much fun making these with my son this morning – great recipe!
These are so good! I have made about 6 batches of these since I got the recipe about a month ago. My whole family loves them and are a great quick breakfast.
Yay! I’m so glad you love them. Thanks for letting me know.
