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.

I made these over the weekend and they are absolutely delicious! I will definitely be making them again.
How come I can’t find the ingredient recipe? I’ve made these before
What kind of butter do you use? Salted or unsalted?
Either will work, I use salted
How do you store these? I’ve put them in a sealed container and they are so moist they become very sticky and loose the crispy top! We love these and make them often just wondering how to store them better.
Can I substitute the sugar with apple sauce?
