Ingredients

Scale

Muffin Batter

  • 1 1/2 cups King Arthur Flour (all-purpose)
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup non-dairy milk
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Natural Crumb Topping

  • 1/2 cup King Arthur Flour (all-purpose)
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons plant-based butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin or line with paper muffin cups to ensure the muffins release easily after baking.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in brown sugar, vegetable oil, non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract (natural) until fully combined and creamy.
  3. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together King Arthur Flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and spices.
  4. Fold Wet and Dry Together: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture, folding gently with a spatula to avoid overmixing and maintain a tender crumb.
  5. Prepare the Crumb Topping: Mix the natural crumb topping ingredients King Arthur Flour, brown sugar, plant-based butter, and natural gelling agent until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups and Add Topping: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups and generously sprinkle the crumb topping over each muffin for that golden, crunchy finish.
  7. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the crumb topping is beautifully golden and crisp.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter; fold gently to keep muffins light and fluffy.
  • Measure flour accurately by spooning and leveling to avoid dense muffins.
  • Ensure the oven is properly preheated to achieve ideal rise and texture.
  • Add nuts or fruits just before baking to maintain texture and freshness.
