Description

An easy, small-batch banana nut muffin recipe that yields six fluffy and moist muffins.


Ingredients

Units Scale

For the crumble:

  • 60 grams pecans, chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the muffins:

  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 5 tablespoons maple syrup (just over 1/4 cup, 3oz)
  • 1 teaspoon miso
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 large banana (1/2 cup mashed)
  • 120 grams flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prep the crumble. Add all of the ingredients to a small bowl and toss together until everything is evenly coated in oil and distributed. Set aside.
  2. Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with six liners, evenly spacing them out.
  3. Make the batter. In a large mixing bowl, add the egg, Greek yogurt, olive oil, tahini, maple syrup, miso, and vanilla. Whisk until thoroughly combined and smooth.
  4. Mash the banana until very well mashed. Add to the batter.
  5. In a small bowl, add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Sift together to ensure everything is evenly combined, then add to the wet ingredients. Using a spatula, fold and combine the wet and dry ingredients until the batter just comes together.
  6. Using a small cookie scoop, evenly divide the batter amongst the 6 muffin liners. You’ll want the batter to go almost to the top of the liner.
  7. Add a tablespoon of crumble over the batter in the muffin pan and gently press the crumble into the top of the batter.
  8. Bake at 400 F for 18-19 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool in pan for about five minutes, then finish cooling on a wire rack.
  10. Enjoy!
