Servings:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a mini muffin tin (24 cups) or line with mini cupcake liners.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, mix the mashed bananas, sugar, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined (don’t overmix).
Spoon the batter into mini muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar. Sprinkle a little on top of each muffin.
Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Recipe Tips

Use very ripe bananas with lots of brown spots for the best flavor and naturally sweeter muffins.
Mash the bananas well so they mix evenly into the batter, which helps the muffins bake up tender.
Fold the dry ingredients in gently and stop as soon as the flour disappears, because over-mixing can make muffins dense.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar topping on right before baking so it sticks well and creates a sweet, cozy top.

Make Ahead. Store them in an airtight container for a few days, or freeze and thaw for quick breakfasts and snacks.
