Ingredients
This is meant to be a brief overview of our easy recipe. For step-by-step instructions and a full printable recipe card with ingredients, please scroll down to the teal box below.
- Bananas: Choose ripe bananas. The more ripe the bananas, the sweeter they will be.
- Butter and Salt: I recommend using unsalted butter when baking to control the amount of salt in the recipe.
- All-Purpose Flour: For gluten-free muffins, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour substitute.
- Sugars: This recipe calls for both granulated and brown sugar. Note that you may wish to omit a teaspoon of granulated sugar if your bananas are very sweet. On the other hand, if your raspberries are more tart, you may wish to add a teaspoon of granulated sugar.
- Raspberries: Using fresh raspberries for this recipe is best. Frozen raspberries have more moisture content and will cause the muffins to not rise and bake correctly.
You will also need an egg, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon.
Variations:
- Add some crunch to your muffins with a 1/2 cup of slivered almonds or chopped walnuts.
- For additional nutritional benefits, replace two tablespoons of flour with toasted wheat germ.

Ang’s Recipe Tips
- Don’t overmix the batter so the muffins stay light and fluffy.
- Use a cookie scoop to portion the muffin batter evenly.
Serving Suggestions
For holidays, I love putting out brown sugar butter or copycat Texas Roadhouse butter with these muffins.
Storage
To Store: Leftover banana and raspberry muffins should be stored in an airtight container or zip-top bag. They will last 3-4 days on the counter and perhaps an extra day if refrigerated. (These are my favorite airtight containers.)
To Freeze: Allow the muffins to cool completely. Individually wrap each muffin with plastic wrap or foil and place it into a freezer bag. Repeat with additional muffins. Remove any extra air from the bag. Label and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
To Thaw: Muffins can be thawed in the fridge overnight, on the countertop at room temperature, or unwrapped and microwaved on 50% powder in 30-second intervals.
