Banana Cinnamon Chip Muffins are the best! These lovely muffins taste like banana bread with loads of bananas, cinnamon, cinnamon chips and pecans.  I love muffins and banana muffins are some of my very favorites. While I already have several banana muffin recipes with chocolate chips, chocolate chips, streusel and icing, some with miniature chocolate chips and streusel, and others with double chocolate flavor with cocoa and chocolate chips, you can never have too many Banana Muffin recipes!

While Banana Cinnamon Chip Muffins make for great regular breakfast fare, these make great snacks during the day, as well as treats for holiday breakfasts, baby showers, and even potlucks. I made up a batch of these muffins for construction workers who are working on our new house last month. They were gobbled up incredibly fast.

While I haven’t made treats for every single work crew, I’ve made a lot for them over the past six months. We are finally hoping to close on our new home by the end of the month. Hurray! We are both sooooo ready to get our stuff out of storage and have our own furniture and stuff again. While I brought some things with us to our furnished rental house, it was fairly bare bones, so it will be interesting combing through all the boxes again and finding things we’ve missed.

If you’re looking for a great muffin recipe (along with a great way to use up overripe bananas), then give Banana Cinnamon Chip Muffins a try soon. If you love rich cinnamon flavor, these muffins are loaded with both cinnamon and cinnamon chips. Every bite will have you salivating. Enjoy.

Whisk ingredients until combined.

Equipment

  • 1 12-tin regular muffin pan
  • 1 6-tin regular muffin pan
  • muffin liners if desired
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 nut chopper if nuts are not previously chopped

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour bleached flour toughens baked goods
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 3-4 large ripe bananas mashed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter 1 stick
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup half-and-half or whipping cream
  • 1 cup cinnamon chips
  • 1 cup pecans chopped (measure after chopping)
  • 1 cup cinnamon chips for top of muffins

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°.
  • Mix sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, bananas, egg, butter, vanilla and cream in a large mixing bowl with a whisk.
  • Add flour, pecans and 1 cup of cinnamon chips.
  • Stir gently with a wooden spoon just until combined.
  • Don’t overmix the batter.
  • Spray 13 muffin tins with cooking spray.
  • Spoon batter evenly into each muffin tin.
  • Sprinkle additional cinnamon chips over top of batter.
  • (I added 10-15 cinnamon chips on top of each muffin).
  • Bake at 425° for 5 minutes.
  • Adjust temperature to 350°.
  • Continue baking an additional 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Cool.

Notes

NOTE: The secret to having muffins that raise perfectly every time is to start the baking at a high temperature (425°), and then lower the temperature to 350° after 5 minutes. This allows the muffins to raise properly. If you bake muffins at a steady 350° for the whole length of baking time, they will usually be flat on top.
