My family loves banana bread… there is no doubt about it, but we love Banana Bread mini muffins just as much. They are easier to eat (especially the little ones), they cook in minutes instead of an hour, and they freeze great! I keep a batch (or two) in the freezer. Then for breakfast I just pop a few in the microwave and we have delicious and warm muffins to serve with our eggs. YUM!
If you don’t have a mini-muffin pan, I highly suggest you get one. Mini muffins just simply taste great. They are faster to cook and easier to eat. I love my Wilton mini muffin pan, but for just a few dollars more you can get a silicone pan. These are great because the mini muffins just pop out so much easier.
