Banana Toffee-Chip Mini Muffins
Author Notes: You can mix the batter and pop the pan in the oven, letting the muffins bake while you brew coffee or take a quick shower (or read a newspaper!). Standard mini muffin pans also make the batter-measuring process easier: All you need is a rounded measuring tablespoon to scoop up the batter and portion it into the muffin cups. Adding chocolate and toffee chips only sweeten the deal, and if you really need a pick-me-up, dot the tops with crystallized ginger before baking for extra zing. - Furey and the Feast
Makes 20 mini muffins
- 4 ounces flour
- 2 ounces golden brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup melted butter

- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips

- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a mini-muffin pan with paper liners, or use a nonstick mini-muffin pan.
- Add flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into a small bowl. In a larger bowl, add melted butter, milk, egg and mashed banana, and mix thoroughly.
- Dump the dry ingredients into the bowl of wet ingredients, and whisk with a fork until just combined. Add in chocolate and toffee chips.
- Using a tablespoon measuring spoon, portion out 1 tablespoon of muffin batter into each muffin cup. Top batter with chopped crystallized ginger, if desired.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center of a muffin comes out clean. Enjoy your morning.

Heya, thanks for trying the recipe! Hmmm...I haven't had that problem, but I bet if you bake the muffins for a few minutes, then sprinkle the toffee chips on top, that might help? It might weight down the muffins a bit, but at least they'd sit nicely on top!

I made these and LOVE them, but all of my little toffee bits settled in the bottom of the mini-muffin cups and kind of caramelized there. Still delish, but do you have any ideas for making them not sink to the bottom? Thanks for a great recipe!
