I love this recipe! I don’t even like banana bread/muffins, and I couldn’t stop eating them! Adding the chocolate chips puts it over the top in the best possible way!
I’ve been making this exact recipe since 1980. They are delicious and moist. I always add chocolate chips and an extra banana if I have one.
I loved this Very moist and family said it was better than the ones they buy at bakery. Added cinnamon and vanilla. and walnuts no chocolate chip. Thank you!
Our favorite banana muffin recipe! Everyone loves them and they’re so easy to make.
Yes, I added 1/4 cup of black walnuts. Love this recipe. My neighbor aged 92 always used mayo inside of her baked cakes and breads. Best Texas sheet almond cake ever eaten. Baked goods with mayo are always moist.
So moist and delicious!
Definitely will make these again!!!
It was GREAT! We made a batch for Christmas and my family was weirded out by the fact they had mayo in them. They tasted it and they couldn’t taste the mayo at ALL! Best muffin recipe EVER!
Love this recipe. I make these often for my daycare children. I also will sometimes drop the batter into a loaf pan to make banana bread.
So easy! Moist! Smell good from the oven. I’m not a baker or cook. Right up my alley!! I made mini muffins.
Amazing!!! So delish! No photo taken since they ate all
Love this recipe!! Quick and easy. My go to for Sunday evening baking for kids’ lunches!
Wow. Thank you so much for this awesome recipe. I used 4 medium over ripe bananas, and added 5ml cinnamon and 10ml vanilla essence. I mashed the bananas and mixed it with the mayo and vanilla. I baked it for 30minutes. It is soooo soft, and the most amazing flavor. This get a special place in my recipe book.
I have been using this recipe for years, you do not need additional liquid. The recipe itself will give you the moist banana muffins you’re looking for.
Made these for the first time today. It’s a good thing this is an easy recipe because I made them one-handed while talking on the phone with my sister — almost forgot the sugar! I was able to get 14 good-sized muffins out of it. I omitted the chocolate chips just because I wanted a “plain banana” flavor first time out. My muffins cooked in 20 minutes and came out very moist, with good flavor and not overly sweet. I will definitely make these again. Thanks for the recipe!
It was very dry mixing all ingredients. I added 1/2 cup of water, the chocolate chips, and 2 tsp. vanilla extract. My toaster oven was too small to use the 12 cup muffin tin I have. Had to pour it all in a rectangular bake glass. I ended up with burnt banana bread. Had to throw it in the trash.
Doubled the chocolate chips and added cinnamon
Everyone loves them. It’s hard to only eat one.
Omitted the chocolate chips and sprinkled a bit of homemade granola on top for some crunch. Delicious!
BEST BANANA MUFFINS EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These turned out great. I used VERY ripe bananas and substituted 1 cup of whole wheat flour (so 1 cup all purpose and 1 cup all wheat). Some of the best banana muffins I’ve had.
