This small batch banana muffins recipe makes exactly six banana muffins that are super sweet, delicious, and make the perfect morning treat.
Muffins might be my very favorite thing to eat for breakfast in the morning. There is literally nothing better than putting some butter on a freshly baked muffin with a glass of milk on the side. That is ultimate comfort food in my book. This small batch banana muffin recipe is adapted from my mini loaf banana bread recipe, and comes together both quickly and easily.
Small Batch Banana Muffins:
For this recipe you mix together your wet ingredients: sugar, eggs, oil, banana, vanilla, sour cream (or greek yogurt), and then add in and stir your dry ingredients. once everything is well combined, pour a 1/4 cup amount of batter into six muffin liners and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
The Key to Perfect Banana Muffins:
I think that the key to perfect banana bread, muffins, etc... is using either sour cream or greek yogurt in the batter. There is something about it that just makes them turn our moist and perfect every time. Almost every recipe I've tried that doesn't use it in the batter tastes dry and unappetizing to me. If you want perfectly moist muffins or bread, go for the greek yogurt/sour cream every single time.

Banana Muffins Recipe Notes:
- Mash your bananas before putting them into the batter. For this recipe I used about 1 1/2 bananas and put them in a bowl and mashed them with the bottom of a drinking glass, and then scooped out the 1/2 cup that I needed for the batter.
- You can use sour cream and greek yogurt interchangeably.
- For the egg, break an egg into a small bowl, whisk, and then scoop out the 2 tbsp you need for the batter. Use the rest as you see fit.
