This is the easiest, yummiest Banana Wheat Muffins recipe that is the perfect way to use up ripe bananas! It only takes a few simple ingredients — and doesn’t use any eggs, milk, or oil!

It is also one of the fastest muffin recipes ever, making it an awesome last-minute addition to your meal when you’re short on time and your pantry is almost empty, but you still need something else to fill up hungry bellies. In fact, I can whip these muffins up from start to finish in about 30 minutes.

This is a great basic recipe to customize according to your preferences — add some chocolate chips, throw in some cinnamon or nuts, or whatever your heart desires! I personally love that it uses mayonnaise (don’t worry — you can’t taste it!) because I can regularly get mayonnaise for free (or almost free) with coupons, sales and rebates, and this recipe is a perfect way to use it up.

These muffins are especially wonderful straight out of the oven slathered with butter or peanut butter, but they might even be better the next day! I love sticking them in the freezer so my boys can quickly grab one to pack in their lunches on school days. They are great at breakfast — and they also pair beautifully with soups in the winter months. In conclusion…we eat these muffins pretty much any time and with any meal, haha!
