Banana Muffins with Crumb Topping


Muffins always make for a nice breakfast or snack.  Be careful not to bake these too long though, or the crumb topping will start to melt and will get decidedly less crumb topping-like.

Muffins:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 bananas
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Crumb Topping:
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter

Preheat oven to 375 F

In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.  In another large bowl, mash bananas with a fork, then add in sugars, egg, oil and vanilla.  Mix thoroughly, then add in dry ingredients and mix again.

Coat muffin tins with butter, then divide the batter into 12 tins.

To make the crumb topping, combine brown sugar, flour and cinnamon in a bowl.  Add butter, then mix with a fork until crumbly.  Sprinkle topping onto muffins.  Bake muffins for 20 min, or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.

  1. Son, you need a spatula!

    I like the streusel idea and will incorporate it into my next batch of (coconut flour because no can do gluten) muffins.
