Banana Muffins
These banana muffins are the perfect healthy on-the-go snack. They are sweetened with honey, topped with nuts, and make for a great treat. I may or may not have made them 3 x in the past month because they are just that good and simple. My husband and I have been enjoying them for breakfast, as a mid-day snack, or for a quick bite when we don’t have time on our hands.
I’ve also baked them for friends who recently gave birth for a healthy and hearty snack they can enjoy for days to come. Honestly, I would make these just because they make the house smell just like Fall; my favorite season. I love the aroma that fills the air; better than any candle.
As you can see below, it takes just a few steps to have these banana muffins ready in 30 minutes. The seasonings used like chai, cinnamon, and ginger are warm and comforting. The nuts on top add the perfect crunch texture to the top. You can add chocolate chips or raisins to the batter for some extra flavor too; the choice is yours.

Notes
These were amazing! Used gf flour and it worked great!
These were amazing! I substituted with GF flour and they turned out great!
That is awesome to hear, thanks!
They were so good and delicious. My toddler loved them. And let me tell you fufus deserts are always the best! A must try.
So happy to hear that!
These are so light and delicious! The texture is perfect and. It heavy like some banana recipes can turn out. I didn’t have all of the spices so I just substituted with pumpkin pie spice and I think it’s perfect 👌🏻
I had overripe bananas that I needed to use up and instead of going for the usual banana bread, I decided to try these and I don’t regret it. Really nice combination of flavours and very handy for snacks on the go
I am happy you enjoyed them!
Amazing! I did not have chai spice, added a little allspice and nutmeg, maybe 1/4 tsp each. Not sure if it made a big difference but the muffins were great!
Can I use canola oil instead?
Sure, it shouldn’t be a problem.
Amazing ! These muffins are the reason I buy bananas so moist and flavorful.
