    These Bakery Style Banana Muffins are the best! They're moist, full of banana flavour, and not too sweet. The bakery style gives these muffins a fluffy texture and the perfect muffin top!

    My kids and I make these banana muffins once a month. They are a household favourite and the best way to use up ripe bananas.

    What Makes These Banana Muffins Different?

    The secret is keeping them simple, no nuts or fancy toppings. For a classic I believe less is best. The other secret is I use 3 and 1/2 large bananas.

    I started adding extra bananas in when my toddlers would bake with me. They both like to snack on bananas before we get to mash them. Then one day they didn't eat any extra and the muffins came out better than ever! Extra moist and had more banana flavour than before.

    So now every time we bake banana muffins together I make sure to add some extra.

    WHY YOU’LL LOVE THEM

    They use simple ingredients. These cookies use basic baking ingredients that you probably already have in your cupboard.

    Done by hand. No need for fancy equipment, everything is done by hand.

    Perfect texture. These muffins are moist and soft.

    Tastes amazing. The best tasting banana muffins!

    What is a Bakery Style Muffin?

    A bakery style muffin is the term given to a muffin when it is cooked using two temperature settings to achieve a high muffin top. To do this start by cooking your muffins at 425 F for five minutes. The high heat causes the top to cook quicker and rise up. After 5 minutes lower the oven temperature to 350 F and cook at this lower heat setting until muffins are fully baked.

    How to Make These Banana Muffins

    Preheat the oven to 425F and line 11 muffin tins with liners.

    In a large bowl mash the bananas until there are no large pieces left.

    Mix in the sugar. Add the egg and vegetable oil and mix till well combined.

    wet ingredients for the muffins

    In a second medium sized bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. You want to fold in the dry ingredients and be careful not to over mix (this will result in dry muffins). Once there are no more flour streaks stop mixing.

    muffin batter

    Fill lined muffin tins with the batter until they are almost full.

    banana muffins ready for the oven

    Bake for 5 minutes at 425 F. Then lower the oven temperature to 350 F and bake for an additional 15-17 minutes or until a toothpick in centred into the centre comes out clean.

    Let muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Enjoy!

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    What is a Bakery Style Muffin?

    A bakery style muffin is the term given to a muffin when it is cooked using two temperature settings to achieve a high muffin top. To do this start by cooking your muffins at 425 F for five minutes. The high heat causes the top to cook quicker and rise up. After 5 minutes lower the oven temperature to 350 F and cook at this lower heat setting until muffins are fully baked.

    STORING THE MUFFINS

    These muffins are best eaten on the day you bake them. You can store these muffins at room temperature for up to three days.

    DO I NEED TO BRING MY EGG TO ROOM TEMPERATURE?

    Yes you do. Room temperature eggs break down easier in the batter. This means less mixing, which gives you a fluffy moist muffin. If you forget to take your egg out of the fridge (I always do) just run your egg under warm water for a few minutes.

    WHAT DOES SPOONED AND LEVELLED FLOUR MEAN?

    Spooned and levelled flour refers to the way of measuring flour. To properly measure flour you should scoop spoonfuls of flour into your measuring cup and then level off the access by scraping with a knife. Scooping the measuring cup directly into your flour causes the flour to compress and you will get more flour than the recipe calls for.

    Do the bananas have to be ripe?

    Yes, you need to make sure the bananas are nice and ripe. Ripe bananas have a sweeter taste and break down easier in the batter.

      These are hands down THE BEST banana muffins I have ever made. I have shared this recipe on to everyone who asks after eating them. Amazing!!! I do sugar free and swap the oil for apple sauce for my baby, they’re still great! I do the normal recipe for myself and guests - they’re incredible

      Would these turn out if I used frozen bananas?

        You can use frozen bananas but make sure they are fully defrosted and at room temperature.
