I am the queen of over ripe bananas. My little girl loves them. But why I haven’t learned by now that she can’t eat a huge bunch of ten in a week, I really don’t know. But that’s ok because I love to bake them in something delicious. Banana bread is my favorite!

So when thinking of what I should make this time, I decided to make these banana bread muffins. They would be perfect for the kids to grab before school or even make a yummy after school snack.

These muffins were the bomb. And the cinnamon streusel on top was the perfect finishing touch. All of the goodness of banana bread are packed into these muffins.

My favorite part of banana bread is the banana smell that fills the house while it is baking. The nice thing is that these are ready in 20 minutes. These are so good while they are still warm and bake so moist and delicious.

They became a huge hit with everyone in the family. Every muffin was eaten by the end of the day. But how can you not love everything about a delicious baked banana bread packed into a muffin? You will love these just as much as we did!
