Banana Muffin Tops

Our favorite part of a muffin has always been the muffin top. The round crispy and fluffy top that pops up over the muffin liner. 🤩

This is the perfect marriage between cookies, banana bread, and muffins. This treat has the fluffiness of banana bread and the crispiness of a cookie. Perfect as a quick breakfast or an afternoon snack.

key tips

Refrigerate. To get the perfect muffin tops, refrigerate the batter before scooping it onto a lined baking tray. This allows the batter to become more firm and hold its shape, creating the perfect muffin tops!

Extra ripe bananas. Similar to banana bread, the key to having a sweeter muffin top is by using more ripe bananas. We like to use bananas that are almost covered in brown.

Almond flour. We like to use a blend of almond and all-purpose flour. The almond flour helps give the muffin tops their unique texture.
