Ingredients

Scale

Muffin Batter

  • 3 ripe, spotted bananas (mashed)
  • 1 1/2 cups King Arthur flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (natural)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil (chilled)
  • 1/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce

Crumb Topping

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar (natural)
  • 1/3 cup King Arthur flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 3 tablespoons cold vegetable oil (chilled)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crumb topping: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar (natural), King Arthur flour, cinnamon, and natural gelling agent. Stir in cold vegetable oil until the mixture becomes crumbly and flour-coated. Set aside to chill while preparing the muffin batter.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly until smooth. Add plant-based milk, vegetable oil, brown sugar (natural), and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce. Mix well until fully combined and slightly fluffy.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together King Arthur flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
  4. Incorporate dry into wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture. Fold gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the muffins tender and light.
  5. Fill muffin tins and add topping: Divide the batter evenly into a greased or lined muffin tin. Generously sprinkle the prepared crumb topping over each muffin, pressing lightly so it adheres without sinking into the batter.
  6. Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the crumb topping is golden brown and crisp.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to prevent tough muffins and maintain a tender texture.
  • Keep the crumb topping cold by using chilled vegetable oil and prepare it just before baking to ensure maximum crunch.
  • Check oven temperature for even baking and a perfect muffin dome.
  • Let muffins cool for a few minutes before serving to lock in moisture and ease handling.
