Overview:
Baking can be a delightful family activity, especially on weekends when you can involve your children in the process. The aroma of fresh muffins wafting through the kitchen is hard to beat, particularly when your little ones are donned in their adorable aprons. Despite my passion for cooking, my baking skills often leave something to be desired—overbaked brownies, undercooked bread, and cakes that simply collapse. My tendency to deviate from recipes has led to these mishaps. However, I have discovered a foolproof banana muffin recipe that consistently yields delicious results.

This banana muffin recipe requires minimal ingredients—most of which are likely already in your pantry. Ingredients can be easily customized with add-ins like chocolate chips, walnuts, or spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg.

Regardless of the modifications, these muffins are always a hit.
