I have a love of muffin tops.
Not that flap of skin that sticks out of too tight jeans. Nope, not that kind of muffin top.
I’m talking the tops of a muffin. Where all the good flavor resides. I recently bought a muffin top pan (which can also double as a whoopie pie pan), and have gotten into trying all sorts of muffins. Remember these carrot cake muffin tops with cream cheese frosting? Yeah. I can’t get them out of my mind either. They were amazing.
So are these banana muffin tops. Moist, delicious, and super easy to make! You could certainly “pimp them out” by adding nuts and a glaze on top…but it totally wasn’t necessary. These are awesome to keep in the freezer too and take them out for a quick breakfast. Enjoy!
