Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉. Grease the muffin tin(s) with non-stick spray or line with 18 muffin liners.

In a large bowl using an electric handheld mixer, cream the softened butter and brown sugar on medium speed for 1 minute. Add the egg, vanilla, mashed bananas, and sour cream and continue beating for 30 seconds until fluffy.

Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add to the wet ingredients and mix on low speed just until incorporated.

Stir together the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Add the melted butter and stir to form a crumbly texture.

Distribute the batter between the prepared muffin tins (18 in total). Top with the crumb mixture distributed evenly between all the muffins.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Banana Ripeness Matters 🍌
Use overripe bananas with dark brown or black spots for maximum natural sweetness and deeper banana flavor in your muffins.
Streusel Texture Secret 🥄
When making the streusel topping, use cold butter and pinch it with your fingers to create varied, crumbly texture that will crisp beautifully when baked.
Sour Cream Magic 🥛
Always use room temperature sour cream to ensure even incorporation and prevent lumps, which helps create an ultra-tender muffin crumb.
Muffin Pan Prep Trick 🧈
Use parchment paper liners or thoroughly butter and flour your muffin tin to prevent sticking and ensure easy release of delicate muffins.
Mixing Technique Mastery 🥣
Mix wet and dry ingredients just until combined - overmixing develops gluten and can result in tough, dense muffins.
