Ingredients

Scale

Muffin Batter

  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 1/4 cup plant-based butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1/2 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (natural)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup natural brown sugar

Crumb Topping

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup natural brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/4 cup plant-based butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crumb Topping: In a bowl, combine flour, natural brown sugar, ground cinnamon (natural), plant-based butter, and natural gelling agent. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the mixture until coarse crumbs form. Set aside.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth with a fork. Add melted plant-based butter, plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract (natural), and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce. Stir until fully combined.
  3. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon (natural), natural brown sugar, and salt to ensure even distribution.
  4. Bring Wet and Dry Together: Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and gently fold together with a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick with some small lumps.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups and Add Crumb: Divide the batter evenly into a greased or lined muffin tin. Generously sprinkle the prepared crumb topping over each muffin, pressing lightly so the topping sticks well.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow muffins to cool slightly in the tin before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas with plenty of brown spots for the sweetest and moistest muffins.
  • Do not overmix the batter; gentle folding keeps muffins tender.
  • Press crumb topping lightly to help it stick and become crispy while baking.
  • Check oven temperature with a thermometer to ensure even baking.
  • Allow muffins to cool before removing from the tin to prevent falling apart.
