Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour (for crumb topping)
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar (for crumb topping)
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt (for crumb topping)
- 1/4 cup Butter (Cold, Cut Into Cubes, for crumb topping)
- 5 whole Ripe Bananas
- 1 cup Light Brown Sugar
- 3/4 cup Butter (Room Temperature)
- 2 whole Eggs (Beaten)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with liners or lightly grease each cup. Arrange the rack in the center for even heat.
- Make the brown sugar crumb: In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add the 1/4 cup cold cubed butter and cut or mix until the mixture forms pea-sized crumbs. Chill briefly.
- Mash two of the bananas until mostly smooth and set aside. Mash the remaining three bananas until smooth.
- Cream together 3/4 cup room-temperature butter and 1 cup light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
- Add the mashed bananas to the creamed mixture and beat until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add beaten eggs, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until evenly incorporated.
- Add the reserved mashed bananas and the 2 cups of flour. Mix on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Divide the crumb mixture over each topped muffin.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5–10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
These muffins freeze well; wrap individually for best results. You can add nuts or chocolate chips for additional flavor.
