These mini banana bread muffins are moist, flavorful, and topped with a crunchy cinnamon brown sugar streusel. Perfect for cozy mornings or snacks, they bake quickly and use simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/3 cup (75g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • For the Cinnamon Brown Sugar Streusel:
  • 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons (56g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your mini muffin tin or line with mini paper liners.
  2. Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth but still a bit chunky.
  3. Add the melted butter to the bananas and mix well.
  4. Mix in the sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until combined and creamy.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture gently until just combined.
  7. Prepare the cinnamon brown sugar streusel topping by combining brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour. Add cold cubed butter and cut in until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Fill each mini muffin cup about 2/3 full with the banana batter and sprinkle a generous amount of streusel over each muffin.
  9. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean with a few moist crumbs and the streusel is golden and slightly crisp.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Use a non-stick mini muffin pan or grease well for easy release. Keep butter cold for streusel to achieve crumbly texture. Avoid overmixing batter to keep muffins tender. Use a mini ice cream scoop for even portions. Tent with foil if muffins brown too quickly. Let muffins cool before removing from pan.
