Packed with blueberries, bananas, and banana chips (HELLO!), consider these your new go-to blueberry muffin. Change them up depending on which berries you have in the freezer—cranberries are so fun for the holidays, while chopped apple is a crowdpleaser in the fall. Baking the muffins in an air fryer is not only better for the environment than heating up your entire oven, it cuts the baking time on the muffins down to a fraction of a normal muffin recipe.

When it comes to old-school desserts, banana cream pie and pecan pie are always at the top of the list. If you’re torn between which dessert should be the centerpiece of your holiday table, why not combine them? This pie pairs pecans in a sticky caramel, layered with bananas, and topped with a light and fluffy vanilla cream filling. Think banoffee pie, taken over the top with pecans and caramel. Best part? It’s completely no-bake, so you won’t be fighting for the oven space. We love how impressive this looks once assembled, and with minimal effort!

Our classic banana bread is a recipe we turn to again and again when we're looking for a staple brunch recipe, but when we're looking to make things extra-special, it's time for mix-ins to take center stage. We took our banana bread to the next level by adding in not just chocolate chips, but toasted walnuts. The result is a moist banana bread with sweet chocolate flavor and nutty crunch in every bite that we just can't get enough of.

Is there anything as lovely as a homemade pie? We think not. While pumpkin pie and apple pie are best in the fall, banana cream pie is just the treat for special occasions all year long. It's layered with dreamy vanilla pastry cream and slices of banana, all topped with clouds of whipped cream. This version calls for our favorite basic pie dough, but of course you can use store-bought dough if you prefer.

Bananas, all about ‘em. Pudding, love it. Lasagna… wait, what? Stay with us! It’s true that this isn’t a true Italian lasagna, with layers of pasta, sauce, and cheese. Instead, we’ve layered Nilla wafers, cheesecake filling, and bananas into the perfect no-bake dessert to make for a crowd.

Banana nut muffins are the shortcut version to banana bread, and are made for breakfast meal prep. They're light and moist, full of toasted walnuts, and just sweet enough. Grab one next time you're running out the door in the morning to improve your whole day.

To give this a special spin, we made pudding from scratch. It’s hard to match the boxed stuff, so whipped cream and sweetened condensed milk give it the richness we were after and vanilla bean enhances the flavor. The result is heavenly, almost ice cream-like. Make it the night before, then enjoy it cold, right out of the cooler. Mom would definitely approve.
