Banana Muffins with Crumb Topping
Muffins, those little bundles of joy that are so easy to make and taste so good with a cup of coffee in the morning. This moist ,soft, tender muffin has a wonderful banana flavor! The topping made of brown sugar, butter and pecans complements the banana flavor to a T!
Let’s talk about this recipe and muffins in general and how to make them melt in your mouth delicious.
- As in this recipe and most muffin recipes,you start out by combining the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet ingredients in another bowl. Then combining the two right before you bake them. Combine the two bowls of ingredients by either stirring or folding them together until they are just incorporated.
- “Mix until just incorporated”…those instructions come up a lot in scratch baking whether it be muffins or cakes. The reason being …the more you mix, the more gluten is created and the tougher the end result. Muffin batters are normally lumpy, as you can see this one is. It’s ok, they’re suppose to be. After you have mixed your ingredients until just incorporated, fill the paper liners 3/4 full of batter.
These muffins have a delicious brown sugar,butter and pecan topping to place on top of the batter. All that’s left is to bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes and you have the best Banana Muffins with Crumb Topping you have ever eaten! I hope you love them as much as we do! Enjoy!

Thank you Sary!
Just baked a double batch this afternoon. Other than doubling, stayed to the recipe. Response has been very favorable from the tasters.
Thank you Dave! I appreciate you coming back to tell me!
Hello, Thank you for posting such a mouth-watering recipe!!
I have a small question: Do I have to powder the brown sugar? Sorry, if sounds silly. However, I did not get a “crunch”. So, I was wondering if I misunderstood, as I powdered the brown sugar. Kindly clarify. Thank you.
Hi Lalita, the crunch would come from the pecans in the topping.
I just got done making a double batch of these, that way my husband can take some to the shop where he works. The guys there love when I bake and send things with him!! My house smells amazing… I will get the final verdict when he comes home and tries one. If they taste as good as they look, they will be a huge success! Thanks for that recipe….
I bet they love you to pieces for baking for them girl! How sweet are you! Yes they are absolutely going to love them, thanks to you!
Can you use a loaf pan if so how long to bake?
Paula I’ve never done that so I would be guessing that yes you could. The baking time? The muffins were baked at 375 degrees, if your making a loaf pan, I’d say 350 to be safe at a baking time of between 25 to 30 minutes. Checking with a toothpick at about the 25 minute mark and then if it comes out sticky, give it more time.
I just made these. I didn’t have enough bananas so I added some apple sauce to the batter. They came out great. They look really good. Puffed up nicely, moist with a crunchy top. My husband came home, ate one and commented they are really good! Thanks for the recipe!
Your welcome Sue, thank you for coming back to co ment about the recipe, I appreciate it!
IS YOUR CALORIE COUNT CORRECT FOR ONE MUFFIN ? YIPES!
I know right, it’s good though, really really GOOD!
I wanted so bad to make this recipe but the calorie count FREAKED ME OUT. So I went ahead and inputed all the ingredients in a recipe calculator and for 12 muffins it came out to 190 calories per muffin. MUCH easier on the heart and psyche. Can’t wait to bake off a batch tonight!
Is your calorie count for ONE muffin correct? YIPES!
Hi. Thank you for answering. They DO look good but………….NEVER at this sky high calorie count, if its correct. Do love your blog!
It’s been ages since I’ve been visiting blogs. I’m so glad I spotted this recipe. I have been eyeing some bananas that are way ripe– and banana bread isn’t my absolute favorite. However, that topping looks AMAZING so I just printed the recipe and am about to bake them. You make some of the tastiest comfort foods!
Our family decided these were some of the best tasting muffins I have ever made. My son keeps asking if I need bananas to make the muffins again. This recipe is definitely a repeater and repeater. Thank you so much.
I love this Sherry, your going to be the banana muffin maker now, I love it!
Hello Bunny,
These were fantastic and I have kept the recipe in my forever file. The topping had the right amount of sweet to nut ratio and the constancy of the muffin texture was perfect. The notes that I added were to decrease the salt to 1 quarter tsp and to add 1 half tsp vanilla BUT, that is personal preference. Thanks for the recipe and continue to share your love of yumminess!!
Wonderful Charlie!! THank you so much for taking the time to come back and comment!
I made these for Christmas morning and they were delicious! Thank you for a great recipe to use up those bananas.
You are welcome and thank you Darnell!
I have made this recipe at least 10 times and it comes out perfect every time! I make these and put them in a large zip lock bag for our busy family to be able to grab on the way out the door for breakfast. My teenage daughter and husband love them. I made some for my brother-in-law who LOVES banana bread and he actually ate them for his dinner one night because he “could not wait until breakfast”. Thanks for sharing this quick, inexpensive and delicious recipe.
AWE Sweet April!! I love it! Thank you for taking the time to come back and comment April, it’s so helpful to others that would like to make the muffins.
I never post on blogs, but I had to come back and review these muffins! They were SO good! My muffins always stick to the line, but these peeled right off. They were also the most DELICIOUS muffins I’ve ever had! I added a little but of oats to the crumble and it was awesome.
Thank you Liz.
These muffins were wonderful. So moist and flavorful. The crumb topping pushed them over the top.
Thank you Donie.
