Banana Crumb Muffins
Banana Crumb Muffins recipe: make these for a breakfast dish, brunch dish to pass, Easter brunch recipe idea, dessert or just because! The crumb topping is amazing!
I rarely post muffin recipes and I’m not sure why. I mean, I love these Green Walnut Pistachio Muffins. They are one of my favorite things to bake because they give me and excuse to have dessert for breakfast. These banana crumb muffins have won my heart.
Give me a table full of danishes, croissants, and other breakfast sweets and I will 100% reach for the muffins before anything else.
Muffins need a delicious crumb topping in order to make them stand out above the rest. I very strongly believe this. The crumb topping on these banana crumb muffins came out absolutely perfect.
The muffins themselves are super moist, don’t fall apart when you cut into them, and have just the right amount of banana flavor to them. I am calling these the perfect muffin because I speak the truth when it comes to muffins.
I think it is perfect timing to be sharing these banana crumb muffins because I’m sitting here longing for all things spring and warm weather. This is the first winter Mr. Wishes and I have not had a vacation of any sort and it definitely seemed LONG.
Spring makes me think Easter, brunches, and my loaded pancake muffins. These banana crumb muffins would be the best addition to your Easter brunch or just any weekend breakfast this spring.
Bring on the warmer weather, Mother Nature! I’m patiently (impatiently is more like it) waiting. Update: now that I’m finishing up this post (because nowadays it takes me two weeks to finish one post), it is going to be in the 60’s this week! I am so excited and don’t even care that I lost an hour of sleep this past weekend.
I never cared about daylight savings before because it never affected me. This time it hit me like a ton of bricks. I guess having a baby makes the world of difference! Her schedule is just a little bit off this week – fighting bed time and sleeping even later than she normally does.
Enjoy your new all-time favorite muffins! I can predict the future, in case you didn’t know.

Make me some of these! Yummy
The crumb topping is to die for! Love these banana muffins!
Hi what kind of butter is used? Salted or Unsalted? I read your page a few times to see what kind but I can’t find anything.
Salted butter is what I use
I love these muffins! A new favorite at our house!
Muffins are pretty hard to resist, aren’t they? I wouldn’t even try with these — so much flavor and savor. Terrific recipe — thanks.
Such a great muffin recipe and that crumb topping was to die for. SOOO good.
My muffin of choice!
oh my goodness, these are so good! just made today and the house smells like heaven , the bananas, cinnamon…wow!
Is the vinegar part of recipe? I don’t see you adding it in the video. Thank you
I don’t see where you see vinegar. Can you help me out?
can I put this recipe in a 9 x 13 inch pan instead of muffin pan??????
You can but I am not sure of the time it would take to bake. Just be careful to watch it in the oven so it doesn’t burn.
Not sure why I always have left over bananas but I just did this recipe and it turned out great! SUPER easy, too! Thanks a. Bunch!
