These banana muffins are buttery, moist
and packed with that
great banana flavor.
The muffins won’t taste banana-y enough if over-ripe bananas aren’t used, the ones with brown spots on the peel.
I've posted other recipes containing Swerve sugar replacement with this recipe being another great use for it. Swerve has no bitter aftertaste ~ zero-calories and is perfect for low-carb diets, keto diets and diabetics ~ anyone who wants less sugar in their diet.
Swerve is made from ingredients found in select fruits and starch root vegetables and contains no artificial ingredients, preservatives or flavors.
This time around I used half Swerve brown sugar and half Swerve granular sugar. You'd be hard-pressed to differentiate it from the real thing in a taste test!
No cinnamon was used here; no chocolate chips, nor raisins ~ just banana muffins baked with basic ingredients. I wanted a simple plain banana muffin and this recipe did the job...
They’re tasty great breakfast muffins.
They’re my favorite way to enjoy a banana right now.
The only peeling required is the paper liner...

ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Larry! I'm outvoted sometimes with adding nuts to the muffins. Thanks and take care
DeleteSometimes the basic one is the BEST! These look so moist and tender.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Angie! You're right, I agree! They're good and tender. Take care
DeleteI love the idea of using swerve I need to try this since my son is diabetic thanks for update this classic to healthy
ReplyDeleteGreat, Claudia! Hope it works for you. We have diabetics here too and I'm always looking for recipes with less sugar. Thanks!
DeletePam, We both like banana bread. I like mine without nuts like yours but my better half prefers nuts in hers. As for Swerve, we hadn't heard of this sweetener and have been using Splenda for everything. Stay Safe and Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteHi Dave! I like it either way. 😊 Swerve is great! I used Splenda for years, but like Swerve better, it works good in most recipes when wanting a sugar substitute. Thanks and take care
DeleteWow they sound great but we are calorie counting at the moment so they will have to wait :-)) Never heard of swerve, I doubt if the French have either!! Hope all is well Diane
ReplyDeleteHi Diane! They're good, hope you try them sometime. Thanks and have a good rest of the week!
DeleteI shouldn't even comment on this one -- I can't stand bananas, especially ripe ones. But it's great that you have found a decent substitute for sugar.
ReplyDeletebe safe... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
I get you, Mae! 😊 I really can't stand bananas either, with the exception of banana bread or muffins. Most everyone here likes bananas so I make the muffins every now and then for them. Swerve works great in this. Thanks and take care
DeleteThe open muffin looks so inviting!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info on Swerve. I don't think it's sold in my country but I'll ask around. Anyway I use Splenda which is found in one supermarket only ; this is a chain that has also a branch in Brooklyn, so it sometimes brings american products.I've been using Splenda for several years now, and it's OK.
Hi Duta! Swerve is similar to Splenda, I generally use Swerve in baking. Interesting that you can purchase American products there, that's good! 😊 Take care
DeleteThese look great!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Melynda! They are great! 😊 You take care and have a good rest of the week!
DeleteThose look delish! Now if some would magically appear here,
ReplyDeletethat would be great.
Have not heard of Swerve, will check my store for that.
M : )
Hi Melinda! Wish I could do just that, need a magic wand! 😊 Hope you can find Swerve, I think it does the job well. Take care and thanks for the visit!
DeleteWho doesn't like muffins? These look terrific -- neat way to use bananas that are too ripe. I usually make banana bread, but next time I have overripe bananas I'm making muffins! :-)
ReplyDeleteHi John! Banana bread is great too! Have a good rest of the week and take care.
DeleteI love a good, basic banana muffin recipe and I'll add nuts for you, me and Larry :)
ReplyDeleteHi Susan! Woo hoo! I love nuts in muffins so it sounds great to me! Thanks!
DeleteI would have to say that banana muffins are one of my favorites followed by blueberry muffins. The recipe looks nice and easy.
ReplyDeleteHi judee! I like banana muffins too, but blueberry is my fave. Yum!!! Take care
