How to Make Banana-Cinnamon Muffins Video

Need a new muffin recipe to serve at this weekend’s brunch? These Banana-Cinnamon Muffins pack plenty of old-fashioned flavor and are made to be shared. They also make a fantastic workday breakfast or snack on the go, with a drizzle of honey or a spread of peanut butter for protein. If you haven’t been stashing overripe bananas in your freezer, here’s a quick tip to ripen bananas faster than they would if they were sitting in a basket on the counter. To coax them to darken more quickly, store them in a paper bag for a day or two to get them ready for quick bread or muffins. This speeds things up by concentrating the natural ethylene gas that fruits give off while ripening. You’ll have ripe bananas soon, and the baking can begin!
