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.

Tips:

  • Measuring Ingredients Accurately: Use measuring cups and spoons to ensure precise measurements. A kitchen scale can be helpful for weighing ingredients like flour and sugar.
  • Fresh and Ripe Bananas: Use ripe bananas for a sweeter and more flavorful muffin. Overripe bananas can also be used, but they may result in a denser muffin.
  • Creaming Butter and Sugar: Creaming butter and sugar together until light and fluffy incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in a tender muffin.
  • Mixing Dry and Wet Ingredients: Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients gradually, mixing until just combined. Overmixing can result in a tough muffin.
  • Muffin Pan Preparation: Grease or line muffin cups with paper liners to prevent sticking. Alternatively, use a non-stick muffin pan.
  • Muffin Batter Consistency: The muffin batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If it's too thin, add more flour; if it's too thick, add more milk.
  • Baking Temperature and Time: Bake muffins at the specified temperature and time in the recipe. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin; it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Cooling Muffins: Allow muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

These lemony banana crumb muffins are a delightful treat that combines the flavors of lemon and banana with a sweet and crunchy crumb topping. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a snack. By following the tips and carefully measuring ingredients, you can create a batch of moist, flavorful, and perfectly textured muffins. Enjoy these muffins as a homemade delight or share them with friends and family for a special occasion. Happy baking!
