Being a food blogger means that a lot of recipes run through my kitchen. Rarely do I make the same thing twice because that means missed opportunity for new material. But! There are a few recipes that cycle through my kitchen regularly because they can’t be beat. These Banana Crumb Muffins are one of those recipes. They really are the best.

Sammy is my up and coming baker boy and he basically booted me out of the kitchen a few mornings ago so he could make these muffins all by himself (and get the first warm one!). I love that it is 100% acceptable to feed them to hungry family members for breakfast, snacks and dinner dessert. What other recipe could possibly be more versatile?

HOW TO MAKE BANANA CRUMB MUFFINS

STEP 1

Preheat oven to 375°F and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners (or spray the cups generously with cooking spray). Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer), combine the butter, sugar and egg and beat until creamy.

In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients: 1 1/2 cups flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix well. Gradually add to the butter mixture and beat on medium-low speed until just combined. Add the mashed ripe bananas and mix until just combined.

STEP 2

Prepare the crumb topping: In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and melted butter. Using fork tines, mix until crumbly.

STEP 3

Divide the batter between the prepared muffins cups. The batter will be thick and the cups should be 3/4 of the way full. Cover with the crumb topping. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean. Serve warm!

RECIPE NOTES

  • Consider adding extra ingredients to the batter for a boost of flavor and texture! Try dried fruit such as raisins or cranberries, chocolate chips or chopped pecans. Be sure not to exceed a total of 1 cup of extras.
  • Serve warm with a pat of butter for the most delicious results.

HOW TO STORE AND FREEZE MUFFINS

Make a few batches at a time so you can salvage those bananas and have the perfect breakfast ready for later! Place muffins ziploc bags to freeze for 3-4 months. When you’re ready to enjoy them, place the ziploc bag in the fridge or at room temperature until defrosted.

WHAT TO DO WITH RIPE BANANAS?

Are you like me and constantly finding a fruit bowl filled with ripe bananas? It works well to throw them into the freezer to thaw and use at a later time, or you can mash them up and throw them into one of these delicious recipes!
