Eggless banana walnut muffins recipe with stepwise photos. Simple and easy recipe that will turn out every single time.
I have tried an eggless banana bread recipe before once, but always wanted to bake a banana muffin and vanilla muffin for a long time now.
So I had everything needed in hand, so just halved the quantity and tried immediately. Actually I didn't expect the result to be so awesome with soft and spongy results, I loved it to the core!
I loved the walnuts very much in the muffins, it gives a great texture and believe it to be perfect match, classically used.
Banana is usually used as egg replacement in baking recipes. It turns out really soft as it gives best results just like when how egg is used in the recipe. So do try it out, as you see in the above picture, the texture will be dream soft.

Eggless Banana walnut muffins recipe
Ingredients
- 2 Bananas, Dole, long variety, over ripen
- ¾ cup All purpose flour
- ¼ cup Walnut chopped
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoon Sugar
- ¼ cup Oil
- ½ teaspoon Baking powder
- ½ teaspoon Baking soda
- ½ teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
- Pre heat oven to 190oC.
- Take the peeled bananas in a bowl and mash it well with hands to make it a paste.
- Add oil, vanilla sugar to it and mix well. Keep a side.
- Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda in another bowl with a whisk.
- After mixing properly make a dent and pour the banana mixture in the dent.
- Fold gently, do not over mix, just mix well so that every thing blends properly and don't beat.
- With ¾th of the walnuts added to it, reserve some for sprinkling on the top.
- Line the muffin tray with paper liners and spoon the batter in it up to ¾th of it.
- It will raise so much so make sure you leave room for it. Top with some walnut sprinkled over it.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until the toothpick inserted comes out clean and top turns golden brown.
- Mine got baked at around 28 minutes itself, so keep an eye after 25 minutes.
Notes
- Make sure to use over ripen banana to ensure there is enough moisture in the muffin. If not, it might turn dry.

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING OUT FOR MICROWAVE CAKE RECIPES FOR A LONG LONG TIME............THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ABOVE RECIPIES.....
I TRIED THE SAME, NOT AS MUFFINS, BUT AS A WHOLE CAKE, I USED DRIED FIGS (ANJEERA)INSTEAD OF WALNUTS AND RED BANANAS.
I MICROWAVED FOR 5 MTS, 30 SEC AND STANDING 10 MTS....
IT CAME OUT VERY GOOD....
I WILL TRY WITH WALNUTS NEXT WEEK,...

Thanks
Krishna
Thank you for the recipies.. I am very new for the baking cakes and all.. I have microwave and not the oven.. could you please guide what will be the equivelent procedure for baking if I am using microwave instead of oven
RAKS KITCHEN
Hi krishna, I am really sorry, this recipe cannot be adapted as such for the microwave oven. I don't know the microwave method 🙁
tanuja
im not really good at folding...cant i just beat it with a electric beater? just till its belended properly?
RAKS KITCHEN
Just use a whisk and make sure everything got mixed, you need not beat for long time. The recipe says do not over mix, so I am afraid you could not use a electric beater.
tanuja
hey thanks for da advice and the recipe.. i ended up folding it... i got it properly...
and they tasted awesome!!!!!
so thanks again for hte recipe... i followed it to the tee..
but the only problem is encountered is dat they felt rubber like while breaking... but not when eating... are they supposed to be like that or am i going wrong somewhere?
RAKS KITCHEN
It should come soft as we use banana.... notice it if you make it again, the texture will be just like any egg using cakes....
Mamta
Hi Raks,
I have tried this receipe and it came so well.It was my first baking event 🙂

hi rajeshwari
which oven n mode we have to use for cake...iam asking i will be making for the first time?i mean can we bake it in OTG?n how much degree we have set?thanks.
DeMeNtEd DiViNe
Hi!
Thanks for the great recipe. I tried with the exact same ingredients & measurements & baked @ 190C. The taste & texture turned out great but it did not rise! My muffins had a sunken top! 🙁 What can be the reason? Any advice would be great! Thanks, Priya
Donella
Is it possible to convert the quantities in to lbs and ounces or Grams. My son needs a muffin recipe for school cooking, but he's allergic to eggs and therefore this recipe sounds perfect, but am not sure what cup sizes are for a UK recipe. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, they look delicious.
RAKS KITCHEN
Hi Demented divine,
Sunken top could be of a main reasons, either too much of liquid, since you have said u followed the exact measurement as above, then it could be of the banana size, or if you had opened the oven door in the mid of baking then too this happens.
Donella : I am giving you a rough gram quantity, still you can convert through many online converters online.
Banana - 250gm
Flour - 85gm
walnut - 30.5gm
Sugar - 75 gm
I use US metric cup for liquids volume. Hope this helps!
surbhi
which measurement cups have you used 200 ml(indian) or 240 ml(american).

I just couldn't believe that baking something like banana nut bread/muffins could turn out so moist without eggs and butter! We absolutely devoured these scrumptious muffins! Thank you!

Made the muffins today. They have turned out delicious. A nice accompaniment for tea time! Thanks for the recipe.

Hi Raks
I had tried these muffins using whole-wheat flour, brown sugar and raisins its great and like u said super moist... thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe totally enjoying it. just one thing please include the temperature details in the post, i didnt find them and baked it to 170 C 23 mins
Priya
RAKS KITCHEN
Hi priya,
Thanks for your feedback.
Actually, in baking, we preheat the oven to the same temperature as we need to bake. I have mentioned pre heat the oven to 190 degrees in the first step. So baking temperature is also the same.
But I understand, I will try to mention again in future posts 🙂
Priya R
thanks Raks 🙂 dear it was dumb did not notice it at first... doing it again today 🙂 but with little cocoa powder... love this recipe and my favorite muffins, thanks again sweets

The top layer alone becomes bit sticky a bit for me too fr some recipes, but definitely not soggy ... I will update u when I find a solution for it...
srija chakraborty
hey! lovely muffins there! they look yummy!
I was wondering if you could tell me,is it okay to add some cocoa powder to give it a chocolate flavour..?is it going to affect the overall texture..??
RAKS KITCHEN
You can add, it will become more softer. But add just a tsp or two for this recipe..
srija chakraborty
thanks 🙂
Nithya Narayanan
Tried this recipe as a banana cake without walnuts and loved the way it came out. It is very delicious and not too sweet, just like the way I would like to have it for breakfast. Thanks for posting the recipe with pics and making it easier to make.
I had a little problem. My oven is a little small and things bake really fast (my cake was done in 15 mins at 190C). Though the top turned golden brown 15 mins after start, while having my cake, I found that the bottom of my cake had started turning dark. Is there any way I can avoid it?
RAKS KITCHEN
You can try baking slightly lower temperature. Say 180. Try and see.
Gargi Mukhopadhyay
hi...can we bake these in a microwave in convection mode??
Raks anand
Sure u can
seeking nirvana
I followed the recipe to the T. It came out wonderful! Light, spongy and yummy. Only problem I faced- while they looked perfectly golden colored on top, there bottom got burnt. There were done in 22-23 min at 190 degrees. What did I do wrong?
Sundari
Can you tell where can I buy the cups both aluminium and paper?. I am also staying in Singapore.
Raks anand
I got both in Fair price. They hang it here and there in the shelves.
Sundari
I tried there. But anyway I will try one more time. Thanks for the info and recipe.
I tried the muffin yesterday. The taste was very good my son liked it very much. The only problem is I didn't get the puffiness. I used only the paper cup bought from daiso. What may be the reason?
Ashwini
Looks really yummy... will definitely this and let you know hw it comes!
Kalyani
Flour means can we use wheat flour.
Raks anand
Maida in this recipe or wheat flour can also be used but water may vary

I made this with whole wheat pastry flour and it was good. I would make it again.

Hi Rajeswari
I have been a regular visitor of your blog. I am a south indian vegetarian too and simply looove your recipes. And your pics…. my my they are simply awesome.!!!! And you know what I got soooo inspired by your blog that I bought an OTG to try all your eggless bakes. Can you believe it !!! Its only because of your blog that I was confident that baking can be eggless too. I personally do not prefer eggs and only cook and serve veggie stuff. I baked this muffin as a cake twice and both trials were successful !!!
I am gonna try the spicy pizza soon for my two kids. They too love your pics and ask me to keep trying something from your blog on weekends. All the recipes that I tried from your blog turned out great. Your step wise pics are really easy to understand and make my cooking error free. I really want to thank you for sharing such wonderful recipes that has made my kitchen a happier place. Keep up the good work.God bless you and take care.

This recipe worked awesome..Thanks RAKS.. I baked the same on microwave!!!
To answer one of the guests question on baking this muffin on microwave - Place a glass of water in microwave for about 1 min.(jus a method of pre-heating) once done, remove the water and place ur muffin tray for 4-5 mins. You will result in the same fluffy,spongy muffins.

Yes sure, the texture will be slightly crumbly.
