Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 ripe bananas mashed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour for crumb topping
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon for crumb topping
  • 1 tablespoon cold butter for crumb topping

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Rubber spatula
  • Muffin tin
  • Parchment paper or muffin liners
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your muffin tin by lining it with muffin liners or greasing it with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 1 cup of all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
  3. In another bowl, mash the 3 ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Add in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the mixture together until just combined.
  5. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and the cold butter. Mix until crumbly.
  6. Divide the muffin batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Sprinkle the crumb topping generously over each muffin.
  7. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy your warm Banana Crumb Muffins fresh out of the oven!

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • Don't overmix the batter to keep muffins light and fluffy.
  • These muffins freeze well; wrap individually for later enjoyment.
