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.

You have another convert! These are amazing banana muffins! Hubby typically doesn’t like muffins as they are too dry and not sweet enough. But these are perfect. I’ve already set aside 3 bananas to get super ripe so I can make these again next week! Thank you for a great recipe!
So so so glad you enjoyed the banana muffins!
I’d definitely cut back on the sugar about half next time. If the bananas are really ripe you hardly need that much. Will definitely make again😊
Wonderful Nicole, make it your own honey by cutting the sugar back, it’s all good!

I’m looking to make banana muffins to send my husband who is deployed. It takes 5 days for a package to arrive. Would the muffins make it that long if made the morning I send the package? Or would you recommend freezing and taking them out right before sending?
