Dive into baking these Mini Banana Muffins in less than 25 minutes! They are just like my 5 star rated banana muffins but in bite sized form. These cuties are made with just one ripe banana and a touch of yogurt to keep the muffins moist. Make the recipe as is or add in chopped nuts or mini chocolate chips for added texture and flavor!
Melt the 1/4 cup butter in a small microwave safe bowl and let cool for 5 minutes. Add the mashed banana (or mash the banana into the butter), 1 egg, 1 tsp vanilla, 1/3 cup yogurt, and 1/4 cup milk and mix to combine.
In another bowl combine the 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 tsp baking powder, 1/8 tsp baking soda and 1/4 tsp salt.
Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix only until the batter comes together. Do not over mix. Add the chocolate chips or nuts if using, and lightly mix again.
Line a mini muffin tin with mini cupcake liners. Fill the muffins ¾ of the way full. Place a few more chocolate chips or nuts on top for garnish if using.
Bake for 3 minutes on 425°F then lower the oven to 350° for the remaining 8 mins.
Cool for 10 minutes in the pan then cool completely on a wire rack.
Notes
Add in chopped nuts or mini chocolate chips for extra flavor and texture.
