  • 1 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon of salt
  • 3 mashed bananas
  • ¾ cup of white sugar
  • ⅓ cup of melted butter
  • 1 lightly beaten egg

Crumb Topping Ingredients :

  • 1/3 cup of packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon of butter

How to Make Banana Crumb Muffins :

1

Gather all the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease or line 10 muffin cups with paper liners.

2

To prepare the muffins, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

3

In a separate bowl, mash the bananas and mix them with white sugar, melted butter, and beaten egg.

4

Stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture until just combined.

5

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

6

For the crumb topping, mix brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Use a fork to incorporate 1 tablespoon of butter until the mixture becomes crumbly. Sprinkle the topping over the muffins.

7

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 18 to 20 minutes.

Serve and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Banana ripeness: Overripe bananas with brown spots give the best natural sweetness and flavor.

Topping texture: For a chunkier crumb topping, chill the butter before cutting it into the mixture.

Storage: Keep muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.

Freezing tip: Wrap muffins individually and freeze for up to 3 months; reheat for a quick snack or breakfast.

Flavor variations: Add chocolate chips, walnuts, or pecans to the batter for extra crunch and sweetness.

Serving ideas: Pair warm muffins with coffee or tea, or enjoy them as a light dessert after meals.
