Moist and delicious banana muffins with a crumbly cinnamon streusel topping. This is such a yummy way to use up those over ripe bananas!

I am the queen of over ripe bananas. My little girlย 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!

    I’ve been a professional baker for over 20 years and this is the best banana bread I’ve had thus far. This will be my new go to recipe. Thank you!

  2. 5 stars
    So amazingly good, unbelievably fluffy, wow! I used two-thirds of a cup of sugar rather than one cup and may even use less next time and they were still incredible.

  3. Just made these (sans the streusel) and they turned out AMAZING! So banana-y (I understand that’s not the word) and fluffy! Love them!
    (The website is still not letting me leave a higher than 2-star rating; if I could, I would definitely give this 5 stars!)

    1. I consider myself a fairly good baker and find that using cold butter makes a much better streusel. Also, it is easier to crumble after putting it in the freezer for a few minutes if it is too soft. And after all of that, the streusel melted together. So next time, I will definitely use cold butter; although it will be harder to cut the butter into the streusel ingredients.

  4. Are you it’s TBSPs (and not TSPs) of butter for the streusel? Because mine did not stay crumbly AT ALL.

  5. I found this recipe on Pinterest and it is by far the most amazing banana recipe I have ever made! Thank you so much for sharing this!

  6. Are there any acceptable substitutes for sour cream? I already made my hubby go to the store once today haha and I don’t have enough sour cream for this recipe. Thanks ๐Ÿ™‚
