Ingredients

Dry ingredients:

  • 2-¼ cups all-purpose flour (270 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • ½ cup butter melted
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar (156 grams)
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1-½ cups mashed bananas (from about 3 to 4 bananas)

Add In:

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

Cinnamon Crumb Topping

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour (90 grams)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (100 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted

Instructions

  • Before you begin, you will get the best results if you mash the bananas first then measure out the exact amount needed.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (you will reduce the temperature after the muffins cook for 5 minutes)
  • Grease 12 standard-sized muffin tins or line them with paper baking cups. In a medium bowl, whisk all the dry ingredients together then set aside.
  • In another bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar then add the eggs and beat until well blended. Next add the vanilla, and mashed bananas and beat until well combined.
  • Fold the wet mixture into the flour mixture then fold in the blueberries.

Make the cinnamon crumb topping:

  • Blend the flour, sugar, and cinnamon together then stir in the melted butter until you have pea-sized clumps.
  • Fill the greased muffin tins completely full with the batter then sprinkle the tops with the cinnamon crumb topping. For slightly smaller muffins, you can fill the tins ¾ full which will give you 18 muffins (but you will need to reduce the baking time by a couple minutes).
  • Bake in the preheated oven at 425°F for 5 minutes then turn the oven down to 350°F and bake for 12 to15 more minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the muffins to cool completely before removing from the muffin tins. The tender muffins can fall apart if you remove them while they are still warm.

Notes

  • If you are using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding them to the batter. Toss frozen blueberries in a couple of tablespoons of flour first. This will prevent the blueberries from falling to the bottom of the muffin.
  • For a dairy-free recipe, substitute the butter for coconut oil or vegetable oil.
