These were amazing! I saved them to my pintrest. And I made them into an after dinner treat for me kids. They love helping make them. And obviously love to eat them. I am a fan of crumbles so I had to try.
Tara Noland says
So very glad you liked them and thanks for taking the time to tell us!!
Chris says
Made these last week to take in for the Cooks in the morning at work. They were So Moist. And the best Banana Muffins I have made. Will be making the again. Great Recipe.
Holly says
They are in the oven as we speak!!😋 My kids helped make them we can’t wait to see how they turn out.
Tara Noland says
Awesome, enjoy!!
Carol says
Quick question, salted or unsalted butter?
Tara Noland says
Salted butter, otherwise it would be noted unsalted.
Lisa R says
I just made these and they’re really good. Spray your liners would be my only suggestion.
The kids are going to inhale these when they come home from school!
Tara Noland says
Thank you so much Lisa for the hint and I hope the kids really enjoy them!!
Arya says
Thank u mam, for such a nice recipe,but if I want to make it in eggless then what should I add to it?
Tara Noland says
I am not sure, what do you normally do when you need a substitute? I think there are products in the store that you can use as substitutions.
Crystal says
They were delicious. I only used 3 large bananas as that was all I had at the moment and my husband said it had the best flavor. I plan to make these and take to work. Would highly recommend this recipe.
Tara Noland says
Thank you so much for telling me!! Enjoy!!
Kim says
Wow – just made these this morning and they are so delicious! I used Cup-4-Cup gluten free flour. I substituted an equal amount of gluten free flour for the regular flour called for in the recipe and followed all the other directions as written.
Tara Noland says
So glad you liked them Kim, Serena is an amazing baker!!
Jennifer says
These are awesome, my new favorite for sure thank you. Do you have a similar recipe for peach muffins by chance?
Tara Noland says
Sorry no peach muffins here but you could use the topping on a muffin you find. Maybe you could sub in peaches instead of blackberries in this recipe. https://www.serenabakessimplyfromscratch.com/2014/09/blackberry-coffeecake-crumb-muffins-100.html
Brittanie says
I just made this and they are delicious!!! The recipe made about 18 muffins in a standard sized pan.
Tara Noland says
So glad you liked them, they seem to be a big hit!!
Anna says
This looks divine! what is the weight in grams of the bananas used. Using five pieces of bananas will produce different batter consistency relative to their sizes. The batter might be too runny or the muffins will be too dry. I would love to hear from you. Thanks
Tara Noland says
I am just checking with the owner of the recipe but I would just say medium sized bananas.
Tara Noland says
Yes, she said medium to large bananas if they are small she adds in another one. Not an exact science but they turn out great either way!
Nicole says
Wonderful recipe! Made no changes came out moist and tasty.
Thank you for sharing 😊
Tara Noland says
So awesome to hear, thanks for telling me!!
Marianne Kiehl says
Help!! I made these and followed the recipe exactly.
The toothpick came out dry. They are so mushy and greasy. They are so awful!
What did I do wrong????
Tara Noland says
I am not sure what you did wrong?? Never had any complaints with this recipe. Are you sure you did the ingredients correctly? I am sorry you have had this experience.
Mary Bratton says
Is the amount of ingredients (1C brown sugar) + the 1/2C for topping or is 1C for topping and muffins?
Tara Noland says
Since they are listed individually it will be 1 cup for the muffins + 1/2 cup for topping. I broke the ingredients into to separate lists so hopefully that is easier.
Vane says
They turned out great! Thank you for sharing this recipe!
Tara Noland says
Now I want these again!! Thanks, Vane!!
Tyra says
So I made these muffins, and they really were great. However, I did NOT have luck with the topping! Could you give me tips? I did use cold butter and it just wouldn’t blend well. So my partner thinks maybe the topping melted a bit and slid down the muffins as it cooked and left this strange burning mess around the muffins. Granted, I used a hand mixer as I don’t have a Kitchenaid stand mixer and I see that you do. My topping, when mixed, the butter just wouldn’t “mix in,” and we gave up and we used a pastry blender. So mine was rather a kind of wet, greasy kind of mix like some weird kind of play sand rather than this great, dry looking powder like yours. Could you give me tips for a hand mixer please? Should I have let it soften more? Mixed it longer? My partner absolutely loves banana muffins and thought these were 100% perfect other than the topping, and I thought they tasted amazingly like our banana bread. I would love to give these another shot.
Tara Noland says
Here are some tips that I can think of. You definitely don’t need a stand mixer to make the topping. A pastry blender should work also. Just mix it until the butter is the size of a pea, don’t over-mix it which is what I think you may have done. Make sure not to overfill the muffins so the topping will bake into the muffin and not slide off. Hope you have better luck the second time.
Tyra says
Thank you for the tip about the size the butter should be! We definitely overmixed it lol. Our muffins were a bit over 3/4th full but I didn’t want to get another muffin tray. Thank you! We’ll definitely do these muffins again because my partner loved them so much so I need to get that topping right.
Tara Noland says
I am here to help! Enjoy!
