I’ve mentioned in my Cinnamon Swirl Banana Muffins recipe that muffins are kind of a big deal at my house. A really big deal.

We eat a lot of muffins and my boys definitely let me know what muffins they like and which recipes don’t make the cut.

Banana Cream Muffins

This Banana Cream Muffins recipe is one that they love! I love them too, mostly because of the delicious, creamy, cinnamon cream cheese filling.

What Can Be Added to Banana Muffins?

There are many things you can add to these banana muffins for a delicious variety. Some ideas are:

• Mini chocolate chips
• Cinnamon/Sugar
• Raisins
• Cranberries
• Walnuts
• Pecans

Can Banana Cream Muffins be made into Banana Bread?

Yes! This recipe will make a delicious banana bread. To make banana cream bread:

• Pour half of the batter into a 9.5 inch x 5 inch loaf pan

•  Place dollops of cream cheese filling over the batter and use a knife to swirl

• Cover with the remaining batter and bake at 350 degrees for 60-65 minutes

Can Oil Be Used Instead of Butter?

You can definitely use oil instead of butter. Good substitutes would be vegetable oil, canola oil, or corn oil.

Can Almond Milk Be Used Instead of Milk

Yes! I use almond milk in this recipe all of the time and they come out delicious every time!

• Bake the muffins at 400 degrees for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
