Banana Crumb Muffins
Description
This recipe mixes mashed bananas into a batter of flour, sugars, eggs, butter, and warming spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg, enhanced by vanilla extract for sweetness and aroma. The crumb topping, made of brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and butter, is cut together until crumbly and sprinkled atop before baking. Baking at 375°F produces muffins with a moist interior and a golden, crunchy topping.
These muffins are suitable for breakfast or snack times, offering comforting flavors from ripe bananas paired with the aromatic crumb. They freeze well and can be stored in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
