What’s a mom to do? You have one kid who wants buttermilk biscuits for breakfast. Another kiddo wants banana muffins for breakfast. One, doesn’t care what you have as long as she gets to nibble on the dough…
What I decided to do was give my kids the best of both worlds. Plenty of dough to nibble on but it wouldn’t be regular banana muffin dough or buttermilk biscuit dough. I decided to combine the two and make Banana Buttermilk Biscuits. I wasn’t sure if it was going to work or not, but it did work…and it worked so well that neither kid wants me to make plain old buttermilk biscuits again or boring old banana muffins. They both want me to keep a hold of this recipe for Banana Buttermilk Biscuits and make it as often as I can!

Banana Buttermilk Biscuits
Author Dine & Dish
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup butter
- 3/4 cup buttermilk or use this substitution, which is what I always do
- 1/2 cup banana mashed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400° F
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in butter until crumbly.
Slowly add buttermilk, mashed banana and vanilla and stir to moisten.
Pat out dough on a well floured bread board until approximately 1 inch thick. Do not overwork dough. If dough is too moist, slowly need in a bit more flour until workable.
Using a floured biscuit cutter, cut out dough and place on a greased baking sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes or until a nice, light golden brown. Serve warm with butter and honey.

Looks like a perfect compromise! Love these!!
What a delicious dilemma!! I know this recipe would go over very well at my house, as we all love biscuits, muffins, and bananas. And I refuse to throw out overripe bananas, so it’s nice to be able to change it up a bit from our usual banana muffins. Thanks!
- Wenderly says
I’ve got a few overripe bananas staring at me right now.
Think I know exactly what to do!
Thanks Kristen!

PDG Kristen (pretty darn good) – and the photo of the little one is kuh-YOOT!! i wish you’d been my mom when i was a kid!
- Aimee @ Simple Bites says
With both bananas and buttermilk on hand – I’m jumping for joy. Really, I am. You don’t know how close biscuits and I are.
Kristen – ingenious! You are not only a creative cook but a great mom. I would have never thought to combine the two–buttermilk biscuits and banana muffins–but now that you have I find myself just having to have one. They sound amazing.

This sounds so interesting and definitely different and creative, which we love trying unique recipes. Your children are blessed to have a mom who can improvise so well in the kitchen! Thankfully, I married The Chef… or mine would be stuck with plain and boring…
