Salted Caramel Banana Bread Muffins
These moist and tender banana bread muffins from cheff.omi 🍓✨ are topped with a silky cream cheese frosting and drizzled with rich salted caramel for the perfect balance of sweet and salty. Packed with overripe bananas and Greek yogurt for extra moisture, they're a delightful treat that's simple enough for beginners but impressive enough to share.
Ingredients
- 3 overripe bananas
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- salt
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2.5 tbsp heavy whipping cream
- caramel sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with liners.
- In a medium bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
- Add the melted butter and Greek yogurt (or sour cream) and mix until combined.
- Stir in the egg and vanilla extract.
- Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar and mix until smooth.
- Fold in the flour, baking soda, and salt just until combined—do not overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin liners, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5–10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the frosting, beat the softened butter until smooth.
- Mix in the powdered sugar, then slowly add 2–3 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream until the frosting is smooth and spreadable.
- Frost the cooled muffins, then drizzle or swirl caramel sauce over the top using a toothpick or skewer for a marbled finish.
