  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup white sugar

How to Make Banana Berry Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup white sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine ½ cup vegetable oil, 1 large egg, and enough milk to reach 1 cup total liquid (approximately ½ cup milk).
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Add 1 mashed ripe banana (about 1 medium) and gently fold in 1 cup blueberries and 1 cup raspberries.
  6. Fill muffin cups about ¾ full.
  7. For the Crumble Topping: In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (cut into small pieces), and a pinch of cinnamon. Mix with a fork until crumbly.
  8. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the muffins.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
