This banana muffin recipe has been my go-to for breakfasts or a mid-morning/afternoon snacks for years - they're easy to make, leaving me feeling satisfied and are customizable based on whatever add-ins you decide to include. They're not too sweet, which is exactly what I look for in a breakfast option. I've shared these muffins and the recipe with many family members and friends over the years - and they've become a part of their daily routine, too!
