When we got back from a trip recently, I came home to some overripe bananas. These were a little riper than I like, but I really try not to waste food, so it was time to make my sweet banana muffins.
I have made many quick banana muffins through the years, and this recipe for Sweet Banana Muffins is my favorite. I tend to rework recipes until they are to my liking because life is too short to eat sub-par food. These are topped with a lovely crunchy brown sugar topping.
Bananas can be frozen when they are overripe and used later. They are perfect to be used for smoothies, bread and muffins. I used to just throw them out, but now I freeze them once they get a little spotty.
The muffins come together quite easily,
Within minutes you will have a nice muffin for breakfast or a snack.
These are sweet and simple and that brown sugar topping is everything!

Delicious. I love making banana anything. As for weekend trips, we went to Cape Cod but it was just for one night! We’re doing a longer trip back at the end of this month.

When do I get to try one of your yummy treats? =) You see me with my hands on my hip, righ? 😉

Tried these today, even though eggs and bananas are missing from the recipe, I used 2 bananas and 1egg. They were good but the batter was too thick so I added a splash of milk. These are better than a vegetable oil recipe for sure!

I love banana muffins and to have that crunch is amazing!
And I know I answered this before, but Cape Cod is still kind of the answer, but we did it for a week this past summer, and not a weekend!
There were great weekend trips in the fall too.
