How to Make Bananas Foster Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas. Add ½ cup packed light brown sugar, ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter, melted, ¼ cup milk, 2 tablespoons dark rum, and 1 large egg. Mix until well combined.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fill the prepared mini muffin cups ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. While muffins bake, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 6 tablespoons dark rum. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves. (Optional: Reduce glaze ingredients by half)
  8. Once muffins are baked, let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Brush the warm muffins with the rum glaze.
  10. Store tightly covered at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
