Small bowl

Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
3 ripe bananas mashed
¾ cup granulated sugar
⅓ cup butter melted
1 egg lightly beaten
⅓ cup brown sugar packed
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
⅛ tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp butter

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin pan or line it with paper liners.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, combine the mashed bananas, sugar, melted butter, and egg and mix until smooth.
Add the banana mixture to the flour mixture and stir gently until just combined.
Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon.
Add the butter and mix with a fork until the mixture becomes crumbly, then sprinkle it evenly over the muffins.
Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for the best sweetness and banana flavor.
Avoid overmixing the batter so the muffins stay light and fluffy.
