This simple and easy to follow recipe makes the most tender, moist and delicious banana muffins. The muffins are then drizzled with a sweet caramel icing that makes them decadent.
The muffins taste fantastic on their own and don’t even need the frosting, but it’s very good and certainly sets them apart from other banana muffin recipes. So I highly recommend preparing your caramel icing as well.
