Steps:
- For the banana bread: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-count muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- Sift the flour, baking soda and salt into a medium bowl. Whisk the vanilla and eggs together in a liquid measuring cup with a spout. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or with an electric hand-held mixer, cream the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Gradually pour in the egg mixture while beating; beat until incorporated. Mix in the bananas (the batter will appear curdled, but don't worry), then remove the bowl from the mixer. With a rubber spatula, fold in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Fold in the walnuts, then the Mexican chocolate.
- For the cinnamon crumble topping: In a small bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. Cut in the butter with 2 knives until uniform.
- Fill the cups of the muffin tin about halfway with the batter. Spoon the cinnamon crumble topping over the muffins, pressing it lightly into the batter. Bake until the topping is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool before serving. These muffins are great with a smear of butter.
KING ARTHUR FLOUR'S BANANA CRUMB MUFFINS
A hearty loaf of banana bread is an excellent way to use up a pile of leftover bananas, but sometimes you want a lighter option. These tender banana muffins are crowned with a delightfully crunchy cinnamon crumb topping that lends to their addictive nature. The easy recipe, which doesn't require any special equipment - just a couple of bowls - was adapted from one originally developed by a 9-year old named Meghan Cwikla. With it, she won the junior division at the 1997 State Baking Contest at the Connecticut State Fair.

- For the crumb topping:
- In a bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, oats, walnuts, melted butter, cinnamon, and salt together with a fork until medium crumbs form. If yours comes out too dry, add a teaspoon of water. If it's too wet, add a teaspoon of flour. Evenly sprinkle the crumb mixture over the top of the batter.
- Bake for 40 minutes. Then place a piece of foil over the top to prevent overbrowning, and bake until a cake tester inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean, 10 to 15 minutes longer. Cool in the pan completely before removing. Cut into wedges and serve.

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be. Look for bananas that are yellow with brown spots.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making your banana bread light and tender.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Mash the bananas before adding them to the batter: This will help to distribute the banana flavor evenly throughout the bread.
- Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, making your banana bread tough.
- Bake the banana bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 50-60 minutes.
- Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing and serving: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Banana bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With a few simple tips, you can make the best banana bread ever. So next time you have some ripe bananas, give this recipe a try!
