Ingredients

Scale

Muffin Batter Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups King Arthur Flour
  • 3 ripe bananas (very ripe with brown spots)
  • 3/4 cup natural brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup plant-based butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (natural)
  • Pinch of salt

Crumb Topping Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup oats
  • 1/3 cup King Arthur Flour
  • 1/4 cup natural brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons cold plant-based butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease to prevent sticking, ensuring easy muffin removal.
  2. Mash the Bananas. In a large bowl, mash ripe bananas until mostly smooth with some small lumps to maintain texture and natural moisture.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients. Add plant-based butter, plant-based milk, natural brown sugar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, natural vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the mashed bananas. Mix gently until combined and smooth, ensuring the sugar dissolves well.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk King Arthur flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents.
  5. Fold Ingredients Together. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet banana mixture, folding just until incorporated to keep muffins tender and light. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Prepare the Crumb Topping. In a small bowl, mix oats, flour, natural brown sugar, cinnamon, and natural gelling agent if used. Cut in cold plant-based butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, adding texture and flavor.
  7. Fill Muffin Tin and Top. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling about two-thirds full. Generously sprinkle the crumb topping on each muffin to create a crunchy surface.
  8. Bake. Bake in preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow muffins to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • Spoon flour lightly into measuring cup and level it to avoid dense muffins.
  • Mix ingredients just until combined; avoid overmixing for a light crumb.
  • Use cold plant-based butter for the crumb topping for best texture and richness.
  • Ensure oven is fully preheated to achieve even baking.
