Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Wholesome Banana Crumb Muffins.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). While the oven warms up, lightly grease 10 muffin cups or line them with muffin papers to make cleanup a breeze. This is where the magic happens!
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Give it a good stir to mix everything evenly. This dry mixture is the foundation of your muffins.
Step 3
In another bowl, mash 4 ripe bananas until smooth. Add in 1/4 cup of white sugar, 1 lightly beaten egg, and 1/3 cup of melted butter. Mix these wet ingredients together until well combined. The bananas will add natural sweetness and moisture to your muffins!
Step 4
Now, gently fold the banana mixture into the flour mixture. Be careful not to overmix; just stir until everything is moistened. You want those lovely banana chunks to remain intact for a delightful bite!
Step 5
Spoon the batter into your prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. This will allow them to rise beautifully without overflowing.
Step 6
For the crumb topping, combine 1/3 cup of packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, and 1/8 teaspoon of ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. This topping will add a sweet crunch to your muffins!
Step 7
Sprinkle the crumb topping generously over the muffin batter in each cup. It’s the finishing touch that makes these muffins irresistible!
Step 8
Bake in your preheated oven for about 18 to 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and spring back when lightly pressed. The aroma will fill your kitchen, making it hard to wait!
Step 9
Once baked, let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature, and savor the delightful flavors of banana and brown sugar.
