Disney Banana Bread Muffins Recipe

Banana bread muffins are simply magic: Take overripe and mushy brown bananas that nobody wants and voila, you have an amazing treat! Banana bread is a very price-savvy recipe and makes use out of produce that would otherwise go to waste. Banana bread muffins are also a quick bread, so they go together fast without yeast.

This is the best banana bread recipe as it’s not overly sweet, not too oily and the bread is moist and delicious. You’ll get two loaves from this recipe. Consider freezing one to save it for later.

Or do like my family does and eat banana bread all day long. Both loaves will be gone within a few days! Even my son, who can’t stand bananas will gobble up this yummy bread. I serve these banana bread muffins or a slice of the loaf alongside sausage, eggs and fruit for my kids at breakfast. You’ll be able to print out the recipe below but I’ve also included some substitution ideas in the text – keep reading through!

Disneyland Banana Bread

I received the original recipe labeled as “Disneyland banana bread”. I’ve never seen or eaten banana bread at Disneyland before but maybe it’s served at some breakfast locations? I’ve also read that this recipe comes from Boma Restaurant at Walt Disney World.

Banana Bread Substitutions

After making this a hundred times over the year, I’ve tweaked this recipe to fit my family. I have adapted it to make not only banana bread loaves but also jumbo muffins and regular muffins. I will include the recipe as it was given to me but these are a few tweaks you can do to “make it your own”.

• Do you have very dark bananas? Lessen the amount of sugar as the overripe of the bananas will supply the sweetness.
• Include a few teaspoons of ground flax seed when mixing in the flour.
• Substitute up to half of the butter with equal parts applesauce to cut the fat.
• Create a crumb topping for an over-the-top Disney banana bread!
• Too many ripe bananas? Freeze some to defrost later when you’re ready to make more banana bread muffins.
• Turn this recipe for banana bread loaves into jumbo or regular muffins (see the recipe card notes).
