These banana muffins are just like a sponge. They are lite, super sponge, moist and just the perfect cinnamon flavour. Just like the banana bread and the raspberry muffins recipe on the blog this too comes together in just a handful of ingredients and 2/3 ripe bananas.
Other than using ripe bananas in Cereal smoothie, strawberry smoothie and bread this is one of the best ways to consume it. It is super soft melt in mouth mini banana muffin and so good for a grab and go snack. Kids love it and I can hog on them any time!

Now mine never get trashed, cause these cuties are out of the oven before I waste them.
How to keep Banana Muffins Moist
To make banana muffins moist, I used a small amount of milk and butter or oil. Both of these ingredients help to balance the dry to the wet ingredient ratio and muffins to be . Using a little butter, sugar, and plenty of bananas for lots of moisture and flavor is the key to perfect muffins.
Secret ingredient

This little ingredient worked magic and delivered perfectly fluffy , lite and soft little muffins.
