Make the muffin batter: Mix the butter with the brown and white granulated sugar, add the egg and vanilla and mix again. Mix in the bananas and cinnamon and the Bisquick to get a batter.
Fill cupcake liners: Put cupcake liners in the 12 holes of a muffin tin and fill each one ¾ full with the batter.
Bake the banana muffins: Bake until golden brown and cooked through.
Cool and serve: Let them cool for a few minutes in the pan and then let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Substitutions and Variations
Gluten-free option: If you want a gluten-free version, use gluten-free Bisquick or similar (I used this one!)
Ground cinnamon: Substitute ground nutmeg or even ginger if you like.
Optional add-ins: Include a handful of mini chocolate chips or peanut butter chips, or some chopped nuts, perhaps pecans or walnuts.
Crumble topping: A crumble topping would be good on these Bisquick banana muffins.
Serving Suggestions
With brunch: These muffins contrast well with a biscuits and gravy breakfast casserole, breakfast tacos or bacon and eggs benedict.
As a sweet snack: Savor one with a gingerbread latte.
For dessert: A banana muffin is delicious after any main dish from chorizo rigatoni to marry me salmon.
How to Store Bisquick Banana Muffins
Store: Keep leftover muffins at room temperature for 3 or 4 days or refrigerate them for up to a week.
Freeze: You can freeze these in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
Thaw: Defrost them in the refrigerator overnight or on the counter top for an hour or so.
Reheat: 10 seconds in the microwave will warm them up.
Top Tips
Use ripe bananas: Ripe bananas are easier to mash and they’re also sweeter. You can also use very ripe bananas (the kind you’d usually either use for banana bread or throw out!)
Use a cookie scoop: I found it easy to spoon the batter into the cupcake liners using a large cookie scoop.
Don’t overfill: If you fill the cupcake liners your muffins will spill over the top, so don’t fill more than about ¾ full.
