Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed

  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar

  • 4 tablespoons melted butter (let cool slightly)

  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt

  • 1 large egg (room temperature)

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven & Prepare Pan:
    Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 24-cup mini muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease.

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
    In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

  3. Combine Wet Ingredients:
    In a large bowl, mash bananas until smooth. Whisk in brown sugar, melted butter, yogurt, egg, and vanilla until well blended.

  4. Combine Wet & Dry:
    Add dry ingredients to wet mixture. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Don’t overmix.

  5. Fill & Bake:
    Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling each to the top. Bake 14–16 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean and tops are golden.

  6. Cool:
    Let muffins cool in the pan for 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

Serving Suggestions:

  • Enjoy with milk, coffee, or a dollop of yogurt and fresh fruit.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Use very ripe bananas for extra sweetness.

  • Don’t overmix-stop as soon as you see no more dry flour.

  • Add-ins like mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts work well.

Storage & Reheating:

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge up to 1 week.

  • Freeze for up to 6 months; thaw at room temp or microwave 10–15 seconds to reheat.

Perfect for busy mornings, after-school snacks, or anytime you need a quick homemade treat!
