Ingredients

• 3 pieces ripe bananas
• 113 grams unsalted butter, melted
• 150 grams granulated sugar
• 50 grams light brown sugar
• 1 piece large egg
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 190 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
• 65 grams all-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
• 50 grams light brown sugar (for crumb topping)
• 25 grams granulated sugar (for crumb topping)
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for crumb topping)
• 45 grams unsalted butter, cold and cubed (for crumb topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly with nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.

Step 3

Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar to the bananas and mix until well combined.

Step 4

Stir in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 5

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and optional ground cinnamon.

Step 6

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

Step 8

To make the crumb topping, combine the all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl.

Step 9

Using your fingers or a fork, cut the cold, cubed butter into the mixture until it forms pea-sized crumbs.

Step 10

Sprinkle the crumb topping generously over each muffin, distributing it evenly.

Step 11

Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 12

Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 13

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
