Ingredients

Scale

Banana Muffin Batter

  • 1 cup ripe bananas, mashed (about 2–3 bananas)
  • 1 1/2 cups King Arthur all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (natural)
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk (e.g., almond or oat milk)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Crumb Topping

  • 1/4 cup plant-based butter
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar (natural)
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the bananas and wet ingredients: Mash the ripe bananas thoroughly to achieve a smooth consistency. In a large bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, vegetable oil, brown sugar (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and vanilla extract (natural) until well combined.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the King Arthur all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and natural gelling agent to ensure perfect distribution for a fluffy texture.
  3. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, then gently stir in the mashed bananas. Be careful not to overmix to maintain lightness in the batter.
  4. Make the crumb topping: In a small bowl, mix the plant-based butter, brown sugar (natural), flour, cinnamon (natural), and a pinch of salt with your fingers until it forms crumbly bits. This topping will bake into a crisp, sweet crust.
  5. Fill muffin tins and bake: Divide the batter evenly into a lined muffin tin, then sprinkle the crumb topping generously over each muffin. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas with lots of brown spots for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • Stop stirring as soon as wet and dry ingredients combine to keep muffins tender.
  • Press the crumb topping lightly but evenly on each muffin to achieve consistent crunch.
  • Make sure all wet ingredients are at room temperature to blend smoothly.
  • For accuracy, weigh flour instead of using scoops for consistent results every time.
