Cinnamon Banana Bread Muffins

Cinnamon banana bread muffins taste like banana bread in muffin form! They are perfectly light and moist, loaded with banana flavor, and bake up beautifully each time. Topped in butter and a sweet cinnamon crumble for the ultimate snack. All you need is one bowl and no mixer needed!

I am not sure why but every time, literally every single time, I go to the grocery store I buy a bunch of bananas. I guess I just assume that we need them or I just over estimate the amount of bananas that have been eaten in the house. Regardless, my little “problem” allows me the chance to try out different banana recipes with the 18 bunches of ripe bananas on the counter 🙂 Life could be worse, right?!?

Quick bread recipes like banana bread are hit & miss for me. They either bake up perfectly with a nice rounded top, or they sink horribly in the middle and they don’t cook all the way no matter how long they’ve been in the oven cooking. Same thing with muffins. It’s hard to find a really good recipe that actually bakes up pretty.

These cinnamon banana bread muffins were a nice surprise for me. They bake up nice and round and tall, they’re light but still dense with lots of banana bread flavor, and they have the best crunchy sweet topping of cinnamon and sugar. 

I’ve already made them twice! I found my three year old in the kitchen one afternoon with 5 of these muffins sitting in front of her. They all had little nibble bites in them but only on the top. She was just eating the cinnamon sugar on top 🙂 

With school starting up these also make for a great after school treat.

As with any banana bread recipe, the key is to use very ripe bananas. Like, so ripe your kids or husband or whoever is questioning your sanity in using such a nasty looking banana. The riper it is, the better your banana bread (or muffins in this case) will taste. 

Promise me you’ll make these when you have ripe bananas! Or, I could just mail you some of mine because I currently have 2 bunches of ripe bananas in my kitchen 🙂
