What You’ll Need For Banana Bread Muffins

Let’s take a look at the ingredients you’ll need to make banana bread muffins at home. See the recipe card located at the bottom of the post for full instructions.

• Salted Butter– I used salted butter in the majority of my cooking and baking recipes, unsalted would be just fine here as well.
• Granulated Sugar– The sugar brings the sweetness to the muffins and is added to the cinnamon for the churro topping.
• Large Eggs– Use large eggs in your baking to keep everything consistent.
• Pure Vanilla Extract– When shopping for vanilla, make sure it is pure vanilla extract.
• Over Ripe Bananas x 3– When the peels of your bananas turn brown or brown spotted, you know they’re ready to make banana bread.
• Biscoff Cookie Butter– Not all grocery stores sell Biscoff cookie butter. I have the best luck at Target, Walmart or ordering on Amazon.
• All-Purpose Flour- The flour is part of the dry ingredients of the muffins.
• Kosher Salt– Kosher salt is a coarse salt often used in cooking and baking.
• Baking Soda– Find baking soda in the baking section of your grocery store. A very common ingredient in baking.
• Ground Cinnamon– Find ground cinnamon in the baking section of the grocery store.

How To Make Banana Muffins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and spray a 12 count muffin tin generously with cooking spray.

Cream butter and sugar until well combined. Stir in bananas, eggs and vanilla mixing to combine. Mix in cookie butter until well combined. Stir in flour, baking, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, soda, and salt. Stir until combined.

Fill Muffin Tins. Fill muffin tins 3/4 full with batter. Place churro topping, sugar and cinnamon into a small bowl, stir to combine then sprinkle over top of each cup.

Bake for 25-28 minutes or until baked through. Let cool completely and serve room temperature. Use a toothpick to poke in center to check for doneness.

Can I Make Banana Muffins In A Loaf Pan Instead?

Yes, simply place batter into a greased regular size loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees F. for 55-65 minutes, until baked through. Use a toothpick to poke in center to check for doneness.

The muffins bake so beautifully. You’re going to love them!

Recipe Tips For Success

• Ripe Bananas. Make sure when making banana bread muffins and breads that you are using a nice spotted banana. This will ensure a nice sweet muffin or bread.
• Greased Muffin Tins. I like to place my muffin batter right into the muffin tin instead of using cupcake wrappers. Make sure your muffin tin is well greased with either cooking spray or butter.
• Use Plastic Knife. Use a plastic knife to loosen edges of muffins while still warm. This will ensure they come out of the muffin tin nicely.

How To Serve Banana Bread Muffins

Serve muffins for breakfast, brunch, baby showers and any celebration that calls for a delicious muffin. They’re great for gifting to neighbors and friends too.

Soft in the center with a crispy cinnamon sugar topping. Such a great recipe, we’ll be using time and time again. Enjoy!

How To Store Muffins

Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Can I Freeze These Banana Muffins?

Yes you can. Place the muffins in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw to room temperature before serving.
