Banana-Walnut Crumb Muffin

I love banana cake, and I love the crunchy crumbs on the top of the muffin.

So this time I combined both of my favorites together - Banana Walnut Crumb Muffin!

It is really simple, and even don't need an electric mixer to make it.

I had one recipe of the crumb topping from Crumb Boss before, but unfortunately I lost it. 

That is very crispy and crunchy crumb that I ever had.

But I rarely can remember the ingredients she used, and I came out the similar version from her recipe,

and the texture and taste are so close.

So here we go for the ingredients and steps, and lets get started......

INGREDIENTS:

For The Crumb:

1/3 cup Packed Brown Sugar

2 tbsp All-Purpose Flour

1/4 tsp Baking Soda

1/4 tsp Cinnamon Powder

1 tbsp Butter

For The Muffin:

1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour

1 tsp Baking Soda

1 tsp Baking Powder

1/2 tsp Salt

65g Walnuts

3 Large Bananas

1/2 cup Castor Sugar

1/4 cup Packed Brown Sugar

1 Large Egg

1/3 cup Vegetable Oil / Melted Butter

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

1 tbsp Milk

METHODS:

For The Crumb:

1. In a small bowl, mix all ingredients with a fork until evenly distributed and crumbly in texture. Set it in fridge for prepared use.

For The Muffin:

1. Preheat oven to 375°f / 190°c. Line the muffin papers on 12 muffin cups.

2. Toast the walnuts in the oven about 4-6 minutes, each 2 minutes slightly shake the tray or use a spoon to stir around to prevent burns.

3. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

4. In another bowl, mash the bananas with a fork.

5. Beat in the egg, sugars, melted butter, milk, and vanilla into the mashed banana. Stir until well combined.

6. Pour the banana mixture into the flour mixture, combine it with a spatula or wooden spoon just until moistened. Add in the toasted walnut and combine together. Don't over mix.

  

7. Evenly scoop the batter into prepared muffin cups, and sprinkle the crumbs on the top. Bake it about 18-20 minutes, or until it set.
