Method
 

How to Make Cinnamon Swirl Banana Bread Muffins
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your muffin tin by lining it with muffin liners or greasing it lightly.
  2. Whisk together in a medium bowl the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Mash the ripe bananas in a large bowl until smooth; then mix in the eggs and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients gently into the banana mixture until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  5. Mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl to create the swirl mixture.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with the batter, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top and swirl it gently with a toothpick.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Brush the tops immediately after baking with melted butter and a sprinkle of brown sugar glaze.
  9. Cool the muffins briefly in the tin before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
