Hello everyone! I’m Serena, and I am the creator of Serena Bakes Simply From Scratch, where I share my adventures in the kitchen along with my husband, Colt. We have 3 lovely kids who love to participate in the kitchen and use the blog regularly to make some of their favorite recipes!

I love to share tried and true step-by-step recipes with my readers to help inspire and give confidence in the kitchen.

I’m so excited Tara invited me to guest post on Noshing With The Nolands today; we’ve become great friends over the last few months when she reached out to me about Sunday Supper and mentored me through the process.

Thanks so much for inviting me to guest post, Tara! I feel truly honored you thought of me!

I couldn’t think of a better recipe to share with all of you than Banana Brown Sugar Crumb Muffins because it’s a favorite in our house. If Tara and I lived closer, it would be the muffins I would make when I had her over for coffee.

I know you’ll love them as much as we do!

What Ingredients are in these Muffins?

This recipe uses really simple ingredients, and if you have bananas, you just might have everything else you need. You want to use a ripe banana, but they don’t have to be overripe for this recipe. Using just ripe bananas will give you the same punch of banana flavor that you are looking for. This recipe has both baking soda and baking powder to give the muffins that beautiful fluffy rise that is great in a good muffin.

The muffins are made in two steps, the crumble topping and the muffins themselves. The recipe is easy, but you add bananas in two different ways. Don’t change this up, as it gives the recipe the perfect banana appeal.

How to Make Banana Crumb Muffins

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Use muffin liners or grease a standard 12-sized muffin tin.

For Brown Sugar Flour Crumb: In a mixer, add 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and mix until well combined. Add 1/4 cup cold butter and mix until crumbly and well combined. Place in a small bowl and set aside.

For Banana Muffins: Mash 2 of the bananas and set aside.

Mix together the remaining butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy in a large bowl.

Add the remaining 3 bananas and mix until well combined.

Scrape the sides of the bowl and add eggs, vanilla, plus the rest of the dry ingredients, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until well combined.

Add mashed bananas and flour and mix until combined.

Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups and fill them to 3/4 of the way full. Divide crumb topping evenly over muffins.

Bake for 20 minutes to 25 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean.

Banana Brown Sugar Crumb Muffins are perfect for back to school because they are best made the night before as the banana flavor intensifies. These will quickly become a family favorite!

These are one of my absolute favorite muffins, and I know you will love them too. The ingredients just magically come together and create a moist, tender muffin with the best crumbly topping, and there is a lot of that too. You want some of the incredible topping with each bite.
