Mini Cinnamon Banana Muffins
Description
Mini Cinnamon Banana Muffins combine mashed ripe bananas with a basic muffin batter that includes flour, baking soda and powder, sugar, egg, and melted butter. The addition of a cinnamon-flavored crumb topping made from brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and butter creates a lightly textured crust that contrasts with the soft muffin interior.
These muffins bake quickly in a mini muffin tray at 375 degrees Fahrenheit, producing small, portable treats with a moist banana base and a sweet, slightly crunchy topping. The cinnamon adds a warm spice that lifts the banana flavor without overpowering it.
Ideal for small breakfasts or snacks, these muffins can be served warm or at room temperature. They are easy to adjust in size by using a standard muffin tray and increasing the bake time accordingly.
The crumb topping can be prepared by cutting butter into the dry ingredients until coarse, ensuring the topping bakes to a crumbly texture rather than melting completely.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 banana mashed
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup butter melted
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoon flour
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 and grease/line a mini muffin tray.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the bananas, sugar, egg, and melted butter.
- Stir the banana mixture into the dry mixture and mix until just combined.
- Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, about 2/3 full.
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon.
- Using two forks, cut in the 1 tbsp. butter to the cinnamon mixture until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
- Sprinkle topping over the muffin cups.
- Place muffin tray in preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Remove tray from oven and allow to cool for 1-2 minutes before removing from tray!
Notes
- To make full-size muffins, use a regular muffin tin and bake for about 18 minutes instead of 10-12.
- Do not overmix the batter; stir until just combined to maintain tenderness.
- The cinnamon crumb topping adds texture and warmth but can be omitted if preferred.
