Muffin tin banana cream pies are right up my alley. They’re no bake, make ahead, take minimal effort and are absolutely delicious. They are also super cute. I mean anything made in a muffin tin has gotta be, right? It’s no secret that I’m not an awesome baker. That’s why I rarely share dessert recipes. When I do, they have to be fool proof.
That’s mainly because if there’s a way to mess them up I will find it. I’ve made a banana cream pie before but this was my first time making little mini versions of them. I couldn't have been happier with how they turned out. What a hit! Everyone just loved them and I hope you will, too.
