Soft, cinnamon-forward banana muffins that feel like banana bread in bite-sized form. Naturally sweet from ripe bananas with warm cinnamon flavor and just enough indulgence to feel like a treat without becoming dessert.

✨ About This Recipe
This recipe happened because: out of sugar, out of vanilla… improvise and thrive.

The extra brown sugar gives these a richer, cozy flavor, while the added cinnamon makes them taste warm and bakery-ish. Swapping in Greek yogurt helps keep them soft and moist (and sneaks in a little protein), making them perfect for breakfast, grab-and-go snacks, or freezing for later.
They’re lightly sweet, freezer-friendly, and dangerously easy to eat three at a time.
