Banana Bread Mini Muffins Recipe

These little mini muffins taste just like the Banana Bread you know and love, but they are in a mini take-along treat size. Perfect for freezing for later or for grab and go snacks for the summer when it seems like we always have somewhere to be. Either way, I have a feeling this recipe is going to stick around our home for a while.

Are you ever in the mood for a little banana treat? We love to make a lovely loaf of Banana Bread here (or Gluten Free Banana Bread), but right now I’m on a “freezer snacks” kick so I wanted to make something a little different.

Banana Bread Mini Muffins Recipe
What You Need:
- 1/4 cup Butter, softened
- 1/4 cup plain Yogurt
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour, Wheat Flour, or Gluten Free Flour
- 1 Banana, mashed
- 3/4 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and yogurt, add in the sugar.
Mix in the egg, flour, banana, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix well until all ingredients are combined and no lumps remain.
Drop into a greased or lined mini muffin pan. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes or until the muffins are just brown on the bottoms. (You can do the toothpick test) Enjoy!
For something a little different, you can also add in 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips to the batter before baking for a Chocolate Chip Banana Bread muffin. If you aren’t taking these on the go, they are delicious topped with a bit of butter or cream cheese as well.

These sound yummy. We make banana bread quite frequently but these look a great alternative so might give them a go

Awesome! Will definitely be whipping up some of these! 🙂
One of my fondest memories as a child was waking up to find my mom had made banana muffins. We’d have a couple for breakfast before school and then the rest would go into the freezer to be taken out one at a time. They never lasted nearly as long as we wanted but they where sooo good. Can’t wait to try your recipe.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the recipe, they taste great!
I made them normall size muffin and they needed 10 minutes more in the oven.
Oh I like this idea! I’m always making banana bread, but this would save me from the kids trying to cut their own slices. Thanks for sharing on Weekend Bites
We love banana bread, it’s such a great way to use bananas that are past their best. Sometimes we need to save the bananas in the freezer to have enough for bread but, just using one banana, this recipe is much more practical for a small household.
These look great. I love mini muffins – they’re the perfect size for my 5 year old. Thanks so much for sharing at the Let’s Get Real Link Up!
Oh wow those look delicious! Love the method shot too, I always forget to snap those. Please do add my badge or link back. Thanks for linking up to #brilliantblogposts
My son is a picky-eating two-year-old, but bananas are one of the few foods that he’ll actually gobble up. These look like something he would devour! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at Merry Monday! 🙂
Yummy I can not wait to try these out as they would make a nice Snack on the mornings I am rushing to get to the gym and Charlie to school.
We loved these muffins. I doubled recipe, added handful of mini chocolate chips, and got 16 regular size muffins. Thank you!
I should note I made these gluten free, using Bob’s Red mill 1 to 1 baking flour.
Made these delicious muffins today. Doubled the recipe and used 3 bananas. I didn’t have any yogurt so I substituted sour cream for it. Put in less sugar then it called for as some replies stated that they were a little sweet. I added chopped pecans and made 58 Mini muffins. They are just delicious. Thank you for the recipe, I will be making them often.
These look delicious!
These sound so good! I’m glad I came across this recipe before going to the grocery store.
