Bananas and eggs? huh?

Banana eggs. The gift that just keeps giving. If you aren’t familiar with Banana Eggs, let me fill you in. They’re a recipe found in The Whole Smiths Good Food Cookbook and A. People cannot get enough of them and B. They are the perfect breakfast when you are sick.of.eggs. Even though they are eggs.

But I know what you’re thinking, eggs? Together with bananas? Gross. I can’t even. But hear me out. These are going to taste really similar to banana pancakes but without the fuss of having to make them in batches, flipping them perfectly (because who of us has actually mastered that) and by putting them into muffin form, they become portable! While banana eggs are amazing all on their own making them into muffins just takes them to the next level. And yes, they are great to meal prep ahead of time and reheat in the mornings.

Now onto the muffin part.

During #bananaeggs week over on my Instagram, one of my fellow readers tried making hers into muffins and tagged me. While she mentioned her first attempt hadn’t been successful I decided to take a crack at it and see what I could do. Soon after, presto! This Banana Egg Muffin recipe were born.

Banana Egg Muffins for all.

Edited to add: Initially we released this recipe as an add-on / thank you to all of those who purchased The Whole Smiths Good Food Cookbook but after two years, it’s remained a popular recipe and I thin we can share it with everyone. Full recipe details in the recipe card below!

But here’s the deal, I decided to publish this recipe as a thank you / bonus to all of you who have supported my book. Your support, excitement, posts, comments, DMs, EVERYTHING have meant the world to me throughout all of this. So in the form of Banana Egg Muffins, I thank you. If I could hand make and deliver them to each of your homes, I would.

The recipe for the banana eggs, which this recipe uses, is in The Whole Smiths Good Food Cookbook. You can order it here if you don’t already have your copy. The banana eggs “batter” is the base of this recipe. Ok, now that we have that all out of the way!

Blueberries, chocolate, nuts, oh my!

Just like their big sister, you can add all sorts of toppings into these bad boys. From fruit, to chocolate, nuts and coconuts, the combinations are endless. I’m even thinking I’m going to try and make some Pumpkin Pie Banana Egg Muffins in the fall, so stay tuned for that.

Kids love banana eggs muffins.

Do you want to know what the absolute best part about banana eggs / banana egg muffins? Kids LOVE them. Love them! That has been one of my absolute favorite part about seeing all of your Instagram posts, how much your kids love them! I can’t tell you how many messages I’ve received from parents everywhere saying that FINALLY they have been able to get their kids to eat eggs.

Here’s where it gets cheesy… this is why I do what I do. To help you solve a problem, to help you make eating whole more manageable, delicious and attainable. It warms my heart. So thank you for sending me all of those sweet pictures, DMs and comments, it motivates me to keep going on those days where I’m over algorithms, excess emails and other general annoying parts of blogging. Thank YOU.

The banana egg muffin gear.

On to the banana egg muffins. I recommend HIGHLY using silicone muffin liners so they just pop out. Any egg muffins I’ve ever made come out better using them as they never stick. You can find some here on Amazon. I also use them for regular ‘ol muffins and cupcakes regularly. You can also use a non-stick muffin pan but they do cook up a little differently.

Despite all of non-stick preventedness steps I’m taking, I still like to lightly grease the liners or pan. You can use coconut oil, avocado oil, really any of your favorite oils. Personally I like using the coconut oil spray from Chosen Foods because it’s mess free and easy. But like I said, any oil will work.

Once you have that down, simply mix up your banana egg batter and pour them into the liners / pan about 3/4 of the way full. Then add your toppings. And like I said, whatever you’d like. Get creative and find some combinations you and your family love. My personal favorite at the moment is mini-chocolate chips and walnuts, like banana bread.

So tell me, are you guys ready for Banana Egg Muffins? What’s your favorite flavor combo with them?

    I’ve been eating banana eggs for breakfast all week but preparing them daily so washing pans etc each morning. Looking to save time, I just made a 1/2 recipe of the muffins tonight. I wasn’t sure how well they would come away from my muffin tin. I don’t have the silicone inserts. I sprayed well with coconut oil spray and they slipped out easily after 12 minutes in the oven. Perfect! Ready for the week! Thanks!!!

    What if I have a kid who doesn’t like bananas? Is there a savory substitute I can use?

    I have your cookbook and love all your recipes; especially the banana eggs. I do have a question: Can you store banana eggs as leftovers? I made a full batch and I am feeding only two people. Thank you!

    I just made these for breakfast and prep for the week. How do you recommend storing them and reheating? I used blueberries and topped them with shaved almonds, not sure if I used to too many berries (or my oven doesn’t really heat to right temp) but there was sooo much liquid on top I had to cook them for an extra 10 min. They came out amazing though! Even my husband who isn’t now big on “sweet” breakfasts loved them! Thank you for the recipe

    The ingredients are “Ingredients from the banana egg recipe in The Whole Smiths Good Food Cookbook”? You are not sharing a recipe, you are plugging your book. What a let down.

Obsessed. Let’s talk...🛌🥱 In early 2020 I Obsessed. Let’s talk...🛌🥱In early 2020 I polled my audience because we were on the hunt for a new mattress. You overwhelmingly recommended @avocadogreenbrands. And then we all got locked down and I put our mattress hunt on hold. I bought a cheapie mattress online instead since we couldn’t try things out and none of us had any clue what was happening. Big mistake. HUGE. It was the worst mattress ever. So earlier this year we decided it was time to get a PROPER GROWN UP MATTRESS and went with @avocadogreenbrands.I’m not going to lie, I was a little nervous about ordering online and not being able to “test” it in person. I’m here to tell you it’s one of the best things in my life. It is THE MOST comfortable mattress I have ever laid my pretty little face on. And Brad agrees.Not to mention is green and environmentally friendly.Legit, slipping into bed at night feels like a hug from heaven and I can’t even handle it. I told Brad that, God forbid, we ever divorce I’m taking the mattress with me. So, if you are on the hunt go with @avocadogreenbrands. We went with the Avocado Green mattress with pillow top. And I just looked and they’re having an early cyber/Black Friday Sale. Anyways. Obsessed and eagerly awaiting my next nap. ✌🏼
Gluten-Free Cranberry Bars Personally, one of my Gluten-Free Cranberry BarsPersonally, one of my fave desserts ever is pumpkin pie. I wish it was a year ‘round thing. BUT! If you aren’t pumpkin crazy, not into pies and need something DIFFERENT to bring to Thanksgiving this year, let it be this. Think a lemon bars more festive friend. In fact, it’s great for a Christmas too. It’s available now to my community a the link in my bio. ❤️
