Banana Cinnamon Muffins

These are the perfect mid-afternoon snack and are kid breakfast approved. They taste like a cross between banana bread and cinnamon sugar donut holes!

You will need:

• 1/3 c sugar
• 1/3 c brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 c vegetable oil
• 2 t vanilla extract
• 2 small bananas mashed, about 2/3 cup
• 1 c all-purpose flour
• 2/3 c whole wheat flour
• 1 t baking soda
• 1 t ground cinnamon, divided
• 1/4 t ground nutmeg
• 1/2 c sugar
• 2 T unsalted butter, melted

Then you will…

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup sugar with the brown sugar, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract.
3. Stir in the mashed banana.
4. Mix in the flours, baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of the cinnamon, and the nutmeg.
5. Fill the mini muffin cups 3/4 of the way to the top (these muffins get a lot of rise!).
6. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until a tester in the center comes out clean and the sides are golden. (You could also try regular size muffins, which would bake 15-20 minutes).
7. Remove the muffins from the tin and allow to cool on a wire rack.
8. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon with the 1/2 cup of sugar.
9. Dip the muffin tops in the melted butter and then the cinnamon sugar. Enjoy!
