Time 45m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups smashed bananas (about 4 to 6 bananas)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup milk
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/8 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cups chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly brush a 12-muffin tin with butter and set aside.
  • Whisk the flour, baking soda, brown sugar, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Whisk the banana, oil, milk, eggs, salt, and vanilla in a large measuring cup with a spout or another bowl.
  • Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour wet ingredients into the center; then stir with a wooden spoon until the dry ingredients are moistened but still lumpy. Do not overmix the batter or your muffins will come out dense. Gently stir in the nuts. Divide the batter evenly into the muffin tin.
  • Put the muffins in the oven and immediately reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through the cooking. (Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin to check if it is done. Toothpick should come out clean). Cool muffins in the pan on a rack for a couple minutes. Turn the muffins out of the pan and cool on the rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

KING ARTHUR FLOUR'S BANANA CRUMB MUFFINS



King Arthur Flour's Banana Crumb Muffins image

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.

Time 35m

Yield 10 muffins, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 -4 bananas, mashed
3/4 cup white sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Lightly grease 10 muffin cups, or line with muffin papers.
  • In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • In another bowl, beat together bananas, sugar, egg and melted butter.
  • Stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture just until moistened.
  • Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.
  • In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, flour and cinnamon.
  • Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
  • Sprinkle topping over muffins.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean.

Tips:

  • To ensure moist and fluffy muffins, use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful the muffins will be.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • For a crispy streusel topping, use cold butter. The cold butter will create small pockets of steam in the oven, resulting in a flaky and crispy topping.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • To prevent the muffins from sticking to the pan, grease the muffin cups with cooking spray or use paper muffin liners.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can result in dry muffins.

Conclusion:

These banana muffins with streusel topping are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. With their moist and fluffy texture, sweet banana flavor, and crispy streusel topping, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
