Ingredients:
- 1 and 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour

- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter, melted
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts work well)
Crumb Topping:
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of brown sugar
- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin tin by greasing it or lining it with muffin cups.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, milk, and mashed bananas until well combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the chopped nuts.
- To make the crumb topping, combine the flour, brown sugar, softened butter, and cinnamon in a small mixing bowl. Use a fork or pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with the muffin batter. Top each muffin with a generous amount of the crumb topping.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the muffin tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve and enjoy!
Tips:
- For even more banana flavor, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the muffin batter.
- If you don't have nuts, you can leave them out or substitute them with chocolate chips or dried cranberries.
- Make sure to not overmix the batter as it can result in tough muffins. Mix until just combined.
- Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
