    These Mini Cinnamon Banana Muffins make the perfect breakfast, snack, or sweet treat! Moist, flavorful, and simple to prepare!

    fluffy bite sized banana muffins with a cinnamon topping

    Last week, my husband had a new employee starting at work and what better way to welcome them to the job, than with muffins, right?!?!

    I was able to use up the bananas that had been sitting on my counter a bit too long, and the kiddos enjoyed a few of these as their afternoon snack! Win win!!

    Are your kids like mine where they go in stages of loving bananas and disliking them? Some weeks, I can hardly keep them in the house, other weeks, its as though bananas are the nastiest thing and my kids want nothing to do with them, haha!

    Each time the “dislike bananas” phase comes around, I end up putting the extras in my freezer to use at a later date. If I don’t keep track, I tend to have over 10 bananas in my freezer at a time! Thats where recipes like these come into play! I am able to clear a bit of space from my freezer, and make a treat the entire family (or coworkers in this case), will enjoy!

    These make great breakfasts, snacks, treats, and they are great to freeze and pull out for a later occasion!! If you prefer regular sized muffins, these can be adapted. Simply add a bit more time to the cook time and you’re set.

    My favorite part of these is the cinnamon topping. It takes the flavorful muffin and transforms it into a combination that will have your taste buds thanking you. Paired with a cup of coffee or glass of cold milk, what more can you ask for, right?!
