Mini Banana Bread Muffins
These Mini Banana Bread Muffins are soft, sweet, and most importantly, require zero manual labor. I finally discovered you can mash bananas directly in the stand mixer, saving my arm and my sanity. Perfectly sized for snacks, though 'science' suggests a single serving is approximately eight muffins.
Ingredients
- 4 very ripe bananas
- 1/3 cup butter melted
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Pinch nutmeg
- Optional: 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease your mini muffin tin (or use liners if you’re fancy).
- Toss your 4 peeled bananas into the stand mixer. Use the paddle attachment to mash them until smooth—congratulate yourself for not using a fork.
- The Wet Stuff: Pour in the melted butter and sugar. Mix until combined, then add the egg and vanilla. Give it another quick whirl.
- The Dry Stuff: Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and that pinch of nutmeg. Mix well and add to the banana mixture. Mix until jut combined.
- If using chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter.
- Scoop the batter into the tins.
- *Bake for 12–15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.*
Notes
*this makes 30 mini muffins or - if you only have one pan and don’t want to wait, you can make 24 minis and 2 regular sized muffins (I bake these in ramekins… they take 18-22 minutes to bake)
