How to Make Mini Cinnamon Banana Muffins
Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a mini muffin pan or use a silicone mini muffin tray.
In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Add sugar, egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon to create the crumble topping.
Spoon the batter into the mini muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Sprinkle the cinnamon crumble generously over the top of each muffin.
Bake at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool slightly before removing from the pan.
Tips for Perfect Muffins
- Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness
- Don’t overmix the batter (this keeps them soft and fluffy)
- Silicone muffin pans make removal super easy
- Add extra cinnamon if you love a stronger spice flavor
- Let them cool a few minutes before eating so the crumble sets
Variations
- Add mini chocolate chips for a sweeter version
- Mix in chopped walnuts or pecans for crunch
- Swap butter for coconut oil
- Make into full-size muffins (bake 18–20 minutes)
