We like to think this cinnamon chip banana muffin is just as good as our favorite cinnamon chip banana bread. With the banana flavor combined with a burst of cinnamon in every bite, these muffins are to die for.
This is the same recipe as for standard-sized muffins except that our mini cinnamon chips are added. This recipe makes 12 standard muffins with high domes.
We’ve also made these in a mini-cheesecake pan to make 24 cute, little muffins. With the mini-cheesecake pan, all you have to do is press on the removable bottoms with your finger to pop out the muffins when done baking.
