Today I had some bananas that were getting over ripe. Usually I make banana bread or peel the bananas and freeze them for future banana breads. I love banana bread…but, quite frankly, today the thought of another one just held no appeal..
So, I headed off to look through my trusty cookbooks. Several hours later I emerged from a pile of cookbooks, recipe cards and magazines and asked myself…what was I looking for?? Oh yes, something to do with the dreaded, rotting bananas.
So, once again I dove in and started looking for a banana recipe, this time I vowed to focus and not become distracted by all those recipes, tips, and cooking techniques!! lol
This is the final result (minus 1 muffin…… you must have quality control!) …

Just in case you have a bowl of rotting bananas, here is the recipe –
- 1¾ cups flour
- ½ cup white sugar
- 3 tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- ¼ cup milk or buttermilk
- 3 medium bananas, mashed
- Place first 5 ingredients in a large bowl, whisk well to combine. Make a well in the centre.
- In a separate bowl, beat egg until frothy. Mix in oil, milk and bananas.
- Pour into well in first bowl. Stir gently to moisten.
- Fill greased muffin tins ¾ full
- Bake in 400 degree F. oven for 20 -25 minutes.
- Makes 10 - 12 large muffins.
- YUMMY!!

I just put a batch of pumpkin muffins in the oven but I am on a cooking spree so can easily take out the frozen bananas.

I always buy bananas… but never eat them. i have a bunch of bananas ready to cook! thanks for the great recipe!
You are very welcome, hope you enjoy it!
How long will these last outside since it does have banana?
Hi Crystal, It would depend on the weather conditions, but like much food, I would try to keep them out of the heat and wouldn’t leave out for more than an hour or two. Inside they will keep for a day or two but taste best when served the day they are made. Monica
