Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 Tbsp flaxseed meal ((to make flax eggs))
5 Tbsp water ((to make flax eggs))
4 medium ripe bananas ((don't worry about measurements - it's forgiving))
1/2 heaping cup (packed) brown sugar
1/4 cup vegan butter ((such as Earth Balance // or use coconut oil // melted))
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sea salt
1.5 cups whole wheat pastry flour ((or unbleached all-purpose))
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup walnuts ((optional // chopped))
1/4 cup raw sugar
5 Tbsp unbleached all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp vegan butter ((such as Earth Balance))

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C) and lightly grease a standard size muffin tin (will make 10-11 muffins as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size)
  • Prepare flax eggs by mixing flaxseed meal and water in a large mixing bowl. Let set for 5 minutes.
  • To the flax egg, add banana and mash, leaving just a bit of texture.
  • Add brown sugar, baking soda, salt and whisk for one minute.
  • Stir in vanilla, melted butter and mix.
  • Add flour and oats and stir with a spoon or spatula until just combined. Lastly, fold in walnuts (optional).
  • Divide batter evenly among 10-11 muffin tins (adjust if altering batch size), filling a generous 3/4 full (I fill mine practically full for aesthetic effect).
  • Quickly wipe your mixing bowl and add crumble ingredients. Prepare crumble top by mashing ingredients together with a fork until crumbly like wet sand. Generously top muffins with streusel. You may have leftovers (reserve for future muffins or add to crumbles, pies, quick breads, etc.).
  • Bake for 17-22 minutes or until tops are golden brown and a toothpick or knife comes out clean. Let cool for a few minutes, remove from muffin tin and serve warm. Once completely cooled, store in a covered container at room temp for several days. Freeze for longer term storage.

KING ARTHUR FLOUR'S BANANA CRUMB MUFFINS



King Arthur Flour's Banana Crumb Muffins image

A hearty loaf of banana bread is an excellent way to use up a pile of leftover bananas, but sometimes you want a lighter option. These tender banana muffins are crowned with a delightfully crunchy cinnamon crumb topping that lends to their addictive nature. The easy recipe, which doesn't require any special equipment - just a couple of bowls - was adapted from one originally developed by a 9-year old named Meghan Cwikla. With it, she won the junior division at the 1997 State Baking Contest at the Connecticut State Fair.
