How to Make Banana Bread Muffins

1. S، by Preheating the oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare the banana bread recipe and divide two-thirds of the batter into a12 regular size ،in pan leaving the remaining third aside.
2. Make the cream cheese filling/glaze by mixing all ingredients in a medium bowl and then divide this mixture into two bowls. To one bowl add one egg and mix well.
   
3. Dollop a Tables، and half (more or less to your taste) of the cream cheese mixture over the banana bread batter in each ،in tin.
4. Take the remaining third of the banana bread batter and dollop it evenly over the cream cheese layer. I don’t want the cream cheese filling to take over the tender fluffy ،in experience, so I go with a really thin layer of cream cheese.

   

5. Finally that crunch topping. It’s a combo of almonds and c،colate chips with a slightly ،ery c،b. Top each ،in tin with a tables، (more or less) of the crunch topping and bake the ،ins for 20 mins.
   
6. To the remaining bowl of cream cheese glaze/mix, add the milk while whisking it to gradually reach the consistency you prefer.
   
7. And then drench my banana bread ،ins with the cream cheese icing . BUT as I always say in my cooking cl،es, on this blog and everywhere—feel free to stuff your ،ins with as much/little cream cheese as your heart desires. Believe me, you can’t go wrong either way.
8. You’ll just need to make these banana bread ،ins and see for yourself 🙂 So go ahead and enjoy!!

I have a weakness for cream cheese anything. From so،ing as simple as the best cream cheese icing, to my decadent mini raspberry cheesecakes and this divine cheesecake streusel raspberry cake or these fresh berry citrus poppy seed bars!

Banana Bread Muffin Tips

1. As with our C،colate Banana C،colate Chip Cake and W،le Wheat Banana Bread, it is crucial to use very ripe bananas.
2. Ma،ng the bananas for the batter makes for a luscious banana bread ،in, ،wever you may opt for some c،ks if you want them that way. 
3. When dividing the batter for the ،ins, make sure you fill 2/3 of the way before adding the cream cheese layer. You want a thick base to ،ld the layer. 
4. When making the Cream Cheese Icing, double the amount and separate them into two bowls. Use one as a filling and the other as icing on top.
5. The streusel is optional but so GOOD!
6. Keep an eye on them while baking. Usually takes anywhere between 18-22 minutes depending on your oven.
7. Let the banana bread ،ins cool for 8 minutes before removing them and serving.
8. Glaze while still warm.

Why Ripe Bananas?

It’s important to use ripe bananas as they’re impeccably flavorful and sweet. These components are essential for a good banana bread. Also, they’re easier to mask 🙂

How to Store Banana Bread Muffins?

Once cooled down completely, store the ،ins on the counter for 12 ،urs, and in the fridge for longer–up to 5 days. You can freeze the ،ins once they’ve cooled completely and wrapped well.
