I am always enticed by the fresh, bright yellow bananas in the produce section of the grocery store.

Bananas are a convenient snack. They’re sweet and best of all, they are nutritious.

Bananas are packed with nutrients like manganese, potassium, and vitamins C and B6.

It’s hard to find foods that are practically a dessert, yet still good for you!

Yet, somehow my good intentions of eating a banana each day are often quickly forgotten, and it’s not long until the remaining bunch begins to brown and turn mushy.

Thank goodness for banana bread and banana muffins!

It’s easy to turn ripe bananas into a hearty breakfast treat or snack with a few simple ingredients like Biquick baking mix.

Bisquick banana bread muffins are easy to make, easy to freeze and easy to eat. They are simple, flavorful and a real crowd-pleaser.

I’m not saying I buy bananas just so they turn brown and can be made into Bisquick banana muffins. But, I’m also not saying I don’t. 😉

Easy banana muffins may just be one of my favorite things to bake. They come out moist and tender every time.

And of course, you can always add a handful of chocolate chips or chopped nuts to these banana Bisquick muffins if you’d like a bit more sweetness or crunch!

Baking Banana Muffins with Bisquick

Bisquick baking mix is a dry mixture of flour, cornstarch, leavening, shortening and sugar.

It’s shelf stable and great to keep on hand as a baking replacement.

It helps to make the fluffiest muffins with minimal effort!

Although it’s not a one-to-one replacement for all-purpose flour, you can use the mix for more than just Bisquick banana bread muffins.

Using a baking mix eliminates the need to have some other pantry items on hand and using it saves you time by preventing precise measuring of multiple ingredients.

Baked goods make with Bisquick will be moist, tender and flavorful. No one will guess that you took a little shortcut.

Best of all, its uses are practically endless.

This Bisquick banana muffins recipe is a great way to start your day.

Pair with a cup of tea or coffee and you’re set with a delicious breakfast or snack.

Notes and Adaptations:

  • Adding a mix-in is optional. I love chopped walnuts in these muffins, but my kids prefer nut-free. Chocolate chips or chunks are always a good choice, and cinnamon chips would be great, too.
  • Baking with sour cream helps give these muffins a delightful texture. You can substitute Greek yogurt if you don’t have sour cream on hand.
  • You can add a teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the batter of this banana muffin recipe if you’d like.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
  • If you’d like, you can use homemade Bisquick baking mix instead of store-bought.
  • These muffins freeze well–simply cool completely before wrapping well and freezing (I prefer wrapping muffins individually with plastic wrap before freezing).

  1. These were amazing, I sub’d the sour cream for vanilla Greek yogurt! I also tried the chocolate chip but they were not nearly as moist. Can I use this recipe and simply omit the banana as a muffin recipe base?

    1. Chrysti Benner says:

      Hi Katie! I’m so glad you enjoyed these! If you leave out the banana, they won’t be as moist, so you’d need to add another liquid instead (such as milk). I think you could just add 1/4 cup of sour cream to the chocolate chip muffin recipe to make them more moist, too!
