If you want a deliciously sweet muffin recipe to make, my banana & honey muffins are one of the best. The honey provides you with a real sweet treat, perfect for your kid’s lunch boxes. The muffins are also freezer friendly, so you can stock up for the week.
I always buy bananas in our weekly grocery shop, and while some weeks they are eaten up quickly, others they aren’t. Usually, I leave them as long as possible in the fruit bowl and then I freeze them for future baking.
I got up early recently and popped a few bananas in the microwave for 1 1/2 minutes to defrost and then made this recipe, all baked within 20 minutes.
I spooned 6 patty cases with the mixture and then added some walnuts to the remainder of the mix. I did it this way as the kids can’t have nuts at school, so I have a few school lunchboxes and the others for home.

These look delicious, great way to use up some bananas I have in the fruit bowl, off to make some now.
They are so yummy, Melanie.:) And you are right perfect for using up those over ripe bananas!
I like that you haven’t added extra sugar. only the honey and banana for sweetness.
Thanks Mandy, i think that is enough sweetness. The honey is just the right amount.
Can I use vegetable oil instead of canola? Can find canola anywhere!
absolutely Lisa, hope you enjoy them.
Made up a quick batch of these while my 9 month old was playing and they turned out great! Loved how simple they were, it’s difficult to prepare things to send with my husband to work when I only have 20 minutes to myself at best. Loved that there’s no added sugar as well.
