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.
- 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’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 🙂

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.)

Emily {Frilly Details} says
Yum!!! Thanks for sharing the recipe. I always have so many bananas and never know what to do with them. Now I know! 🙂
jill says
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

Selena says
Made these muffins this morning and they are the BEST EVER!! Thanks for the recipe.

Yummmy! That sounds so good, thanks for sharing!
Sagarika says
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…
Shelly says
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 —
Katie says
I just had so much fun making these with my son this morning – great recipe!
Heather says
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.
Shelley says
Yay! I’m so glad you love them. Thanks for letting me know. 🙂
Courtney says
The recipe is no longer visible on this page. Please bring it back! 🙂

Karyn Vorhees says

Me and my 6 yr old daughter used this recipe, but we changed up a few things (i have a habit of experimenting!). Instead of sugar we used 1/3 cup honey. Instead of chocolate chips, we used peanut butter chips. And instead of nuts we used 1/2 dry oats.
They turned out GREAT!!
Thank you for the base recipe!!
