Description

Delight in these moist and flavorful Cinnamon Sugar Banana Muffins, perfect for a quick breakfast or a tasty snack. Made with ripe bananas and warm spices, these muffins feature a buttery cinnamon sugar topping that adds a sweet, crunchy finish.

Ingredients

Batter

  • 2 ripe bananas (mashed)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas with granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, milk, vanilla extract, and the large egg. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  4. Mix Batter: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture, stirring just until blended. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups: Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising during baking.
  6. Bake Muffins: Place the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, indicating they are fully cooked.
  7. Cool Muffins: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes to set.
  8. Prepare Topping Mixture: While the muffins are cooling, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl to create the topping.
  9. Apply Topping: Brush each muffin top generously with melted butter and then sprinkle or dip it into the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring a well-coated, flavorful crust.
  10. Serve: Enjoy the muffins warm or at room temperature for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • For extra flavor and texture, consider adding 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips or chopped walnuts to the batter before baking.
  • These muffins freeze very well and can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months, making them a convenient make-ahead treat.
