Nanner Muffins
A versatile recipe good for making banana muffins or banana bread.
I’ve been making nanner (banana) muffins for many years. I’ve tried a lot of recipes, mostly by scouring the internet recipe websites. They’ve always been good, but they’ve never been where I truly wanted them to be. So I’ve spent the last several attempts perfecting my own recipe.
This recipe also works well for nanner bread or nanner cake! Check out the notes at the bottom of the recipe for details.
Here’s my version of nanner muffins for you to enjoy. They aren’t overly sweet, but they are a nice middle ground between fluffy and moist. Just add some butter and… oh my!

Notes
This versatile recipe also works well for nanner bread. Just place the batter into a bread pan and bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes. Keep an eye on the top and place a sheet of foil on top if it starts getting too brown.
This versatile recipe also works well for nanner cake! Just place the batter into a 9" by 13" cake pan or casserole dish and bake the same as the muffins. Top with your favorite frosting.
