Here’s a quick and easy banana mini muffins recipe for those mornings when you just need a little pick me up.
About this Recipe
Sometimes you just need a little treat in the morning. Nothing excessive, just a little taste of something warm, sweet, and delicious, to get your day going. On those occasions, we love making mini-muffins. They are super fast (baking in 5-10 minutes), and adorable. Muffins are a great way to use up whatever fruit you have lying around that looks like its getting on towards its last legs. We’ve already waxed poetic about our love of banana bread, so it should come as no surprise that this banana mini muffins recipe is a favorite.
If you prefer regular-sized muffins, you can use this recipe to make four normal muffins (2 each for you and a friend, or just 4 for you if it’s that kind of day).
