These MINI and MOIST Banana Muffins with crumb topping are the most delicious banana muffins you’ll ever taste! Since they’re mini, they’re great for a healthy breakfast on the go!
Bananas. Do you love them? I do. I’m in this routine where I eat 2-3 bananas every day. I have to buy 2 bunches a week at the store to keep up with my banana love!
Brown bananas though kind of freak me out. Here are the best ways to store bananas if you want to prevent that! I can handle a little brown here or there, but when they go very brown and mushy, I can’t eat them with a spoon like some people do. So what to do? You can make a banana smoothie, that sounds good. Or you can make banana soft serve ice cream, also really good. Or you can make these Mini and Moist Banana Muffin recipe!
The Best Banana Muffin Recipe!
This banana muffin recipe has been made thousands of times – find out why these banana muffins are so popular!
What’s not to love? These mini muffins are extremely moist and soft inside. They have a banana taste to them, but it’s not overwhelming, although it’s still there. My husband who doesn’t like bananas at all kept saying “I don’t like bananas, but these are really good”. See, they win non banana lovers over too!
Whenever I bake them they’re gone by the next day, so I hope your family likes them as much as my family does!
How to Make Banana Muffins
Let’s get baking and get started with this banana muffin recipe!
Here’s your bowl of flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix around.
Take your mushy bananas, you probably won’t even need to mash them if they’re super soft. Mine were.
Add your other ingredients to the bananas..
Mix bananas, sugar, butter, and egg until smooth.
Then add your flour mixture.
And keep stirring until it’s all combined.
Spray your mini muffin pan with some nonstick spray.
Spoon your banana mix into your muffin pan.
Now we want to start to build the crumble. This crumble isn’t your typical crumble as it “melts” onto your muffin for a full impact of taste! Combine flour, cinnamon and brown sugar.
Then add your butter and combine it all.
Sprinkle a little bit of the crumble mixture onto each mini muffin.
Bake for 10-13 minutes. Mine took 11, keep an eye on them. When their sides are brown (you can see on the edges of each muffin in the pan) they’re good to go.
And when they come out, holy moly. The smell of banana and cinnamon will take over. I can’t wait for you to taste them!
Let them cool for a few minutes, they will be easy to take out of the muffin pan when cool.
Admire then for a minute… and then eat them all! Or you can eat a couple and share the rest. It’s up to you! Enjoy these mini banana muffins!

I trippled your recipe and added vanilla, and substituted half of white sugar for brown. They are sooooo yummy! Thanks for the recipe!
Pamela says

Mrs T says
I made these amazing muffins. They came out perfectly moist and the right amount of sweet. The kids and I couldn’t stop eating them.

Susy says
I doubled this recipe and got 30 mini muffins…?
they’re in the oven now but they smell great!
Pamela says
Enjoy the muffins Susy, they’re one of my favorites!
Mindi says
These are hands down the best banana muffins ever! Everyone loved them! I had to hide them so my kids wouldn’t eat them all! My husband who claims if it’s not chocolate it’s not good couldn’t stop raving !
Here is my question.
In the morning the tops were all mushy. They lost their crunch completely. I stored them after they were completely cooled. What did I do wrong and how can I avoid that cause I can’t wait to make them again !
Pamela says
Hey Mindi, this could happen due to storage/temperature. To prevent this, you could store them in the refrigerator, and remove them a few minutes before eating. Thanks for commenting, I’m so happy to hear they were a hit with your family!
Therese Cheyne says
Made these muffins for my 8month old granddaughter the other day….she just loved them. They sure are moist and delicious. I added vanilla essence and poppy seeds.
mrsben says
Just tried your Banana recipe and yes it is delicious (thank you), however the recipe only yielded me fourteen. That said; I did use two very large bananas but perhaps my tins are a little deeper than yours and I also filled the batter up to the top of the liner I used. (i.e.: Wilson’s Baking & Party Mini Cups liners.) Also the cooking time took an extra minute.
With much appreciation -Brenda-
Pamela says

Hi from New Zealand! I just discovered your recipe by chance, gave it a whirl and YUM! I doubled the recipe for my nieces bday party and both kids and parents went crazy over them!
Jaquielyn Raney says
I’ve been making my way through banana muffin recipes for the past four years. The search is over, everyone agrees that these are THE BEST banana muffins. BOOKMARKED and saved for years to come. Thanks for an amazing recipe, these babies are delicious!!
Pamela says
Hi Jaquielyn – your comment made my day! I’m so happy the banana muffins search is over, haha! Keep on enjoying them!
Michelle says
OMG! Delicious!! Love the crumble topping!
Pamela says
Hey Michelle, thanks for commenting and letting me know! I’m so happy you liked these muffins and the crumble!
Pat says
I’m allergic to cinnamon. I’m wondering if these banana muffins can be made without the crumble and if they can be made, would the baking time need to be adjusted?
Pamela says
Hey Pat, they can absolutely be made without the crumble! If you’re allergic to cinnamon you can replace the cinnamon with allspice, or just leave the crumble off completely. You don’t need to adjust the baking time if you go without the crumble. Enjoy these muffins!
Barbara says
These are SO SO yummy! I prepared as large muffins (6) and added walnuts. Family loved them!! Thank you!
