How to Make Banana Blueberries Crumb Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas. Add ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup light corn syrup, 1 large egg, and ¼ cup melted unsalted margarine. Beat until well combined.
  4. Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until moistened. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries.
  6. Fill muffin cups about ¾ full.
  7. For the crumble topping: In a small bowl, combine ½ cup packed brown sugar, ½ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup rolled oats, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  8. Cut in ¼ cup cold unsalted margarine using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  9. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the muffin batter.
  10. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
