This recipe is based on one from the 1942 version of the Good Housekeeping Cook Book. It is originally titled, “Banana Tea Bread” but when I read the recipe, given to me by my Gram, I swapped out a few ingredients and decided muffins would serve my lunchbox-toting kindergartener better than bread that I would have to slice, wrap, etc. in the busy mornings before school.

This post contains affiliate links. That means that if you click through a link to purchase a product, I get at tiny commission that does NOT affect your purchase price. I would never link to products I wouldn’t recommend to a friend. 

This recipe also made GREAT use of the frozen bananas I have stashed in the freezer. I haven’t really gotten on the smoothie train the way the rest of the world has (maybe I need to ask Santa for a good blender for Christmas?) but we are still eating, and sometimes letting get too ripe, many bananas. Hence, lots of bananas in the freezer.

Pro Tip: If you use frozen bananas, take them out, set them atop the stove when you turn it to preheat, and by the time you are ready to add the bananas to the mixing bowl, the skins will have loosened appropriately.

Best Old Fashioned Banana Muffins Recipe

1 ¾ cups all purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

¼ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

⅓ cup butter

⅔ cup of sugar

2 eggs

2-3 ripe bananas

Add butter to the mixing bowl and add sugar. Beat until light and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Add one of the bananas and mix.

Slowly mix in well the flour, baking powder, soda, and salt.

Add remaining bananas and mix well.

Pour batter into muffin papers (these are my favorite) in either a muffin tin OR if you are like me and strangely don’t own such a thing, place canning rings on a cookie sheet, and then set muffin papers inside the canning rings. It works perfectly. Fill muffin papers ⅔ full.

Bake at a 350-degree oven for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

    Jenny what a great idea by using the canning ring idea. I will have to try that. I like your recipe as it doesn’t have a lot of sugar in it as the bananas are sweet.

      Oh thank you Debi! I let my 3 year old set the canning rings on the cookie sheet and it’s fun for him to do 🙂
