Ingredients
- Ripe Bananas (the more overripe bananas are better as they are sweeter!)
- Eggs
- Box of Cake Mix (this recipe uses yellow cake mix, but white cake mix also works)
- Optional: Sprinkle the top of the muffins with brown sugar before baking, fold chocolate chips or nuts (like pecans or walnuts) into the batter, and/or add a pinch of cinnamon to the batter for additional flavour and texture.
See the recipe card below for the ingredient measurements.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1 - Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a muffin pan with muffin paper liners.
Step 2 - Mix: To a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. Add the eggs and cake mix and mix with an electric hand mixer just until combined (don't over mix).
Step 3 - Bake: Fill the muffin tins ¾ full with the muffin batter and bake them in the preheated oven on the middle rack for 15-17 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
Storage
Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to one week. These can also be stored in the freezer for up to three months.
