Don’t think so.

I wasn’t much of a muffin eater as a kid, but once I learned how to make them as an adult, they quickly became a breakfast go-to. 

My kids are nuts about muffins for breakfast too. With winter quickly approaching, I thought it would be handy to round up 30 kid friendly muffin recipes that would be perfect for cold mornings!

Some of these can even be made ahead and frozen! Just take out a bag of freezer muffins the night before so they can thaw and be ready for the next morning.

Take a look at the full list below. Be sure to let me know which ones your kids love the most!

So I didn’t grasp the full amazingness of banana bread until I was an adult. And, let me tell you, it is amazing.

My kids love banana bread too. But now that the school year has started and our mornings are a little…hectic, I prefer to serve them something they can grab and go.

Which is why these iced banana bread muffins are a perfect go-to morning meal!

I can bake them up fairly quickly and then let the kids eat a few with yogurt or fruit before they head out. Then I can eat the rest while they’re gone.

It’s a win-win.

Read on to get this easy iced banana bread muffins recipe to make for your family!

Plus, take a look at our easy no-churn ice cream recipes if you want to have a little something special waiting when the kids get home too!

Easy Iced Banana Bread Muffins

This iced banana bread muffins recipe uses the basic muffin ingredients: flour, sugar, eggs, and, of course, bananas. But it’s a bit healthier because it uses applesauce, rather than oil or butter.

What really sets it apart, though, is the streusel topping and the glaze that’s added at the end.

Those two touches basically make it dessert-worthy in my book.

As a note, if you intend to freeze these, do it before you add the streusel topping and glaze. Save those steps until you defrost the muffins and warm them up again.

The streusel is made of cinnamon and brown sugar and butter and just everything that makes life sweet.

Plus, it gives the muffins a little “crunch” too.

The icing is just the finishing touch.

By the way, if you’re baking these on a busy morning, you can make the streusel the night before and store it in airtight container.

Then you’ve saved a step when you’re trying to get the kids out the door.
