Ingredients

Cinnamon Crumb Topping

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons butter, unsalted (Melted)

Banana Muffins

  • 2 cups flour
  • teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup butter, unsalted (melted) (1 stick)
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (or plain yogurt)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3 bananas, mashed well

Instructions

Cinnamon Crumble Topping

  • Make this before you make the muffin mixture, so it's ready to go when you need to get them in the oven.
  • With a fork, mix together sugars, flour, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Pour melted butter into dry mixture and use fork to mix together, allowing clumps to form. The larger the clumps, the larger the crumbs on top of the muffins will be. Set aside once mixed.

Banana Muffins

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line muffin tins with paper liners or spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Mix dry ingredients together and set aside.
  • In a large bowl combine sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla. Mix well.
  • Once incorporated, mix in sour cream/or yogurt and milk.
  • Then slowly add dry mixture to wet, mixing well. Use a whisk if needed to get out any clumps.
  • Mix in the mashed bananas until well incorporated.
  • Once mixed, use a large kitchen scoop or spoon to spoon batter into prepared muffin tins. Fill about ¾ full.
    Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of crumb topping over each muffin.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 23-25 minutes until tops spring back and/or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
    If your muffins are bigger or have a lot of batter in each cup, they make take up to 28 minutes. Just keep an eye on them and wait until they spring back to the touch.
  • Let muffins rest in tin for 10-15 minutes after you remove them from the oven. The bananas will be very hot and this will give the muffins time to rest.
    Once slightly cooled, remove from tin and enjoy!
