Eggless banana muffins recipe with video & step by step photos – Delicious, simple and quick to make banana muffins made with whole wheat flour & without eggs. These muffins make a very good snack or breakfast along with a cup of milk or tea. These can also be packed in kids’ school box for their snack. I am often left with over ripe bananas which I use up to make pancakes, muffins, cupcakes and cakes. These eggless banana muffins are my first choice always as they are light on the tummy – no eggs & no milk. They are also very quick to make.
This eggless muffins recipe is roughly adapted from the Eggless banana bread recipe which I shared before. But the amount of sugar used here is lesser than the other. I made these with melted butter however they can also be made with any neutral cooking oil. I had tried these before with coconut oil & have turned out good.
I have topped these with mini choco chips, you can also make these plain or use chopped walnuts or raisins.
These keep good at room temperature for a day and in the fridge for about 4 to 5 days. If they are made using butter, you will need to heat them up in a microwave for 40 seconds before serving.

How to make banana muffins without eggs
1. Preheat the oven at 170 C for at least 15 to 20 mins. Mash well 2 large or 3 medium ripe bananas in a bowl. I used 2 large ones and it came up to 1 cup mash.
2. Add ¾ cup sugar. You can also use 2 tbsps more if you have a sweet tooth. I used ¾ cup organic fine sugar. Add ¼ cup + 2 tbsps water (about 6 tbsps).
3. Mix well to dissolve the sugar.
4. Add ½ cup melted butter or 1/3 cup oil. This time I have used melted butter. I had made these earlier with coconut oil and felt they were very good. I melted butter in a pan and used.
5. Add 2 tsps lemon or lime juice.
6. Add 1 tsp vanilla extract.
7. Mix everything well.
8. You can sieve flour, soda and salt to a separate bowl. But I have directly sieved all the three ingredients after mixing well. We need to add only half of the flour.
9. Mix it gently.
10. Sieve the other half of the flour too.
11. Mix until just combined. Do not over mix.
12. The batter must be lump free and uniform. You can add walnuts and choco chips, i did not add any.
13. Scoop off the batter equally to muffin cups. You will be able to make about 9 large or 12 medium sized muffins.
14. I sprinkled some choco chips on top. You can also sprinkle some chopped walnuts or raisins.
15. Bake for 18 to 20 mins if making medium sized muffins. 23 mins if making large ones. I baked for 20 mins.
Check if they are baked well by inserting a skewer in a muffin. The skewer comes out clean if done. Cool them on a wire rack.
Serve warm with milk, tea or coffee.
Shalini says
Thanks for the recipe madam. I baked it yesterday. I tried both with whole wheat and maida. Maida cakes for light and fluffy.today I noticed that the crust had become soft. How do we retain the crust to be crisp?
swasthi says
Welcome Shalini.
Thanks for trying. Just bake them for few more minutes. Skip the choco chips if you have used. You can also sprinkle some sugar on the muffins just before baking. Hope this helps
Alsaa says
one more thing mam is white sugar is harmful for kids. then what will be the alternative
swasthi says
Yes Alsaa white sugar is not good for health, Alternately you can use organic sugar, jaggery, palm jaggery or maple syrup.
Alsaa says
hi mam how r u ? mam my daughter is 4 plus .she is active but do not eat anything and also her height is not increasing.what can I do.
swasthi says
Hi Alsaa
I am good. Thanks for asking. Try to put her only on fruits and vegetables for 1 day, then vegetarian diet for a week. She may not be having good appetite. Give her 1 tsp of honey with 2 tsps lemon juice everyday after wake up for 1 week. This helps her appetite.
Give her badam milk, dal ladoo and ragi porridge every day. Stop giving her biscuits, cakes and bread. Hope these help.
Alsaa says
mam badam milk at night.
swasthi says
yes you can give badam milk before bedtime
