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!

Great recipe, moist muffins that taste amazing. The crumble on top really makes it even better. I also added chocolate chips on top of some, they were gone within an hour!
Sarah says
I was wondering if you had the carb count for each muffin?

I was looking for a quick recipe for mini muffins and came across this awesome recipe! I added a teaspoon of almond extract. They are SO good and wonโt last long.
Lauren T says
Honestly I donโt think Iโve ever left a recipe review but I just made these and WOW they are amazing!!!! The only thing I added was a splash of vanilla extract to my wet ingredients and they turned out so delicious!!! I made them specifically for my 16 month old who is obsessed with Entenmannโs Little Bites banana muffins in the bags lol. I made these in my silicone mini muffin pan with a light spray of canola oil and they turned out so perfect I canโt wait until he wakes up and eats them for breakfast ๐ will 100% be making again!
Chi says
Super easy to make. I doubled the recipe to make 48 mini muffins. Looks like my daughter and I have a new recipe!
Teresa says
This is a keeper! My kids absolutely devoured these! My daughter who hates bananas loves them! She can’t wait for the bananas to turn mushy so I can make them again! Great for an after school snack! Highly recommend this recipe! I’ve shared it with many friends and family.
Pamela says
Hey Teresa, this makes me so happy to hear! Thank you for sharing! ๐
Maggie Bray says
Amazing muffins! Love them! Easy to make and delicious.?
Camille says
Honestly just double the recipe. There’s no point in only making 24 when I ate about half of them right out of the oven.
Mama Bear says
Solid recipe! I use a whole medium egg and it is perfect so front stress too much about halving your egg (no disrepresprct for the poster though ๐). Moist and so tasty. I use my mini Bundt pans and it is the perfect personal size cake. Thanks for the great recipe!
Heather says
I (and my family) love these muffins! Especially the past few months, it’s our favorite way to use up our extra bananas. I’ve been making that “full size” but just purchased a mini muffin tin. I think they’ll go just as fast/faster!
Patty says
Iโm a โyoung 70 yr oldโ, grandma who made this mini muffin recipe and was thrilled with the outcome. So tasty. I did add nuts and the crumb topping. Iโve never made muffins before. Sure to be a hit with the grandkids
Pamela says
Hey Patty, I’m so happy to hear you liked these muffins! Hope they were a hit with the grandkids too! ๐ Thanks for stopping by!

Made these yesterday with my 8yo and 5yo and they came out great! It was so quick and easy to pull together. Will definitely make it again, thank you for this great recipe!
Pamela says
So happy to hear you and the kids liked these banana muffins! Thanks for commenting! ๐
Deb says
This has been the best base recipe! Super moist! I did reduce the sugar to 4 tbs, and added 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, and blueberries the second time, but that wasn’t necessary. It was great the original way too. I can’t say how these are on day two or longer as they never last that long in my house.
Pamela says
Hahaha, I totally hear you on them not lasting very long, same here in our house! ๐ I’m so happy that you like these muffins, thanks for letting me know Deb! ๐
Natalie says
Thank you for the recipe! Itโs a keeper!

Can I use cakeflour instead all purpose flour?
H Lund says
We love this recipe: it is our go to breakfast for our toddler. Perfect mix of firm but moist for baby hands!
Vicky says
What a great recipe to have on hand for when my kids HAD to have bananas at the store, but then decide once we’re home that they’re not in the mood for bananas anymore. ๐
Roxana Begum says
I love those step by step pics and this is such a unique recipe with that center filling. Definitely will try.
Emily says
These banana muffins are so delicious and I love that they are made with ingredients I usually have on hand!
Kathleen says
These lil muffins look so delicious. I can’t wait to make these. I bet they smell amazing while they bake! <3
Faith H says
Can I add chopped walnuts? If so, how much should I add if Iโm making 48 mini muffins?
Emily Liao says
These banana muffins are SO delicious! And I love how they are bite sized as well. Makes it for the perfect little treat.
MKM says
…half an egg? o.O
Pamela says
That’s correct, just half an egg. Save the other half for some scrambled eggs. Trust me on this one, these banana muffins are perfect. ๐
Paula says
This recipe makes really moist muffins! And itโs so quick and easy. The video and step by step pictures are great too. Next time Iโll put less sugar, since the bananas are so sweet on their own!
mara says
Made these and I’m back for round #2, they were the best banana mini muffin recipe I’ve made. I was hoping someone commented on making them regular size muffins… also, curious! Why only 1/2 an egg?
Pamela says
Hey Mara, these work for regular size muffins. Check out the recipe notes, it should help you with time. ๐
Kelly says
These are a favorite in my house. I normally double the recipe and use one cup flour and 1/2cup of ground oatmeal. Delicious!!
Pamela says
Hey Kelly, I’m so happy they’re a hit in your house! Thanks for commenting.. keep on enjoying them!
Kendall Thompson says
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
Hey Kendall, thanks for commenting! I’m so happy you liked these mini banana muffins – keep on enjoying! ๐
Mrs T says
I made these amazing muffins. They came out perfectly moist and the right amount of sweet. The kids and I couldnโt stop eating them.
