Hi Julie! I’m so sorry to hear this! I would recommend baking them for less time. 🙁

I’ve never made muffins before, found this recipe and holy they are amazing! We froze a bunch, warmed them up again at 30 seconds and they came out tasting just as good as when you freshly bake them. Crazy!

The bottoms of my muffins were slightly burned…..any suggestions? They were still delicious!

Turned out great with nicely risen muffin tops! I had doubled the recipe and ended up with 18 muffins and 12 mini bundt cakes (they looked like cute mushrooms with the risen tops/stems).

I substituted the buttermilk for heavy whipping cream and half a lemon and they turned out nice and fluffy. I didn’t have time to make the streusel topping and I regretted it. While they were nice enough as a sweet muffin, I did long for that extra buttery kick or another flavor to make these feel complete. I imagine nuts or fall spices would also make great add-in variations.

I doubled mine too. I didn’t have buttermilk so I dared to use heavy whipping cream. Wow! These are super moist— definitely add the topping everyone!

Hi Vicky! I’m not sure almond milk will work quite the same here. 🙁

Amazing muffins! I doubled the recipe and made 36 muffins. About 18 with the streusel topping (I didn’t double that) and the remaining batter a little less than 3/4 filled to make them younger kid sized. My entire family loved them.

I made it without the strudel. I’m very happy with how that recipe turned out even if I forgot to read to the end and baked the muffins almost all the way at the highest temperature but they turned out fine. I will certainly make this recipe again!

Personal preference: The recipe as it is would have way too much sugar for me and I bake muffins to eat them as healthy snacks, not as a dessert.
I reduced the added sugar content to 35g and it’s perfect that way. The ripe bananas are already super sweet and I love adding chocolate chips to my muffins.
Note that I freeze the muffins the same day they were made so the reduced sugar will not have a negative impact on shelf life.

Hi Robin! They are always best fresh, but they should be fine to make Friday and serve Sunday. 🙂

These were excellent! This will be my new streusel recipe. The salt is genius.

I want to make these ahead of time. If serving on Sunday, can I make them on Friday?

Really good muffins. I made a dozen rather than 15 and baked a little longer at 350, ended up being for 13 min. Came out big and beautiful! I also added a little nutmeg to the batter and cinnamon to the topping.

I make this with vegan butter instead of regular butter and oil. I just doubled the vegan butter. I also add cinnamon and a tiny bit of nutmeg. It is amazing! And a good dairy free option.

This banana muffin recipe is pure magic. Two kinds of fat, two kinds of sugar and two baking temperatures – 100% worth it for the best muffin results I’ve ever had. The only sub was oat milk+lemon juice in place of the buttermilk. And I added chocolate chips.

Hi Lynda! I believe they would need to bake for 11-13 minutes. 🙂

I love this recipe! They turn out wonderfully every time. My mother in law especially loves it when I make these.

I’d like to make some mini muffins for my toddlers using a 24 mini muffin tray. Do you know how long I’d need to bake them for if I did this?

These muffins are amazing!! I’ve made them so many times and my family loves them! I like to add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to the batter, and sometimes I throw in some caramel bits!
