    Mini Banana Muffins

    Perfect for a quick breakfast or a yummy after school snack, these Mini Banana Muffins are bite-sized perfection! The muffins are soft and moist, and just the right amount of sweet. Eat ’em warm out of the oven or keep them in a sealed container for handy snacking. I like to keep these on hand for hungry kiddos to help themselves. They’re so easy to make and everyone comes back for more! Plus, they freeze perfectly, so you can make an extra batch and always have them on hand!

    Simple to make, packed with banana flavor, and perfectly freezable…. these are my new go to recipe!! Especially since this recipe uses pantry staples!
