Eggless Banana Crumb Muffins
There were a few over-ripe bananas on the kitchen counter waiting to be used and since no one was going to eat them, I decided to bake banana muffins. Unfortunately, the heat we’ve been experiencing here didn’t motivate me to bake yesterday. So, the first thing I did today morning on entering the kitchen was to make preparations to bake. My son woke up, walked into the kitchen which was filled with a wonderful aroma of baking and said, “Amma, what are you making for breakfast? The house is smelling so nice.” He sure had a sweet cute-cooking surprise for breakfast.:)
The recipe that I have followed with some tweaking is Allrecipes banana crumb muffin recipe which calls for a crunchy crumb topping for the banana muffins. The batter was easy to put together with rewarding results. The banana muffins were soft and moist, cinnamon added a wonderful flavor, the banana and chocolate chips pairing was just perfect and the crunchy sparkling crumb stole the show. Isn’t it amazing that such sorry looking mushy bananas can be transformed into such wonderful treats?:)
Eggless Banana Crumb Muffins Recipe
Preparation: 10 mts, Baking: 20-25 mts
Makes approx 12 muffins
.
4 very ripe large bananas, mashed
1 cup all purpose flour (maida)
1/2 cup whole wheat flour (atta)
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon pwd
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
2 tbsps yogurt
1 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
For crumb:
1 1/2 tbsp brown sugar (I used demarara sugar)
1 tbsp all purpose flour
1/2 tbsp butter
1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and place the oven rack in the middle of the oven.
2 In a large bowl combine the flours, sugars, baking powd, baking soda, cinnamon pwd, salt and chocolate chips. Use a whisk to combine. Set aside.
3 In another bowl combine the mashed bananas, yogurt, butter and vanilla. With a wooden spoon, lightly fold the wet ingredients (banana mixture) into the dry ingredients until just combined and batter is thick. Do not over mix the batter.
4 Prepare crumb by combining together the brown sugar, flour and butter. Keep aside.
5 Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin liners half way through and sprinkle some crumble on top of each muffin. Bake for about 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6 Place on a wire rack to cool and remove muffins from pan. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Note:
The original recipe called for an egg which I replaced with a mashed banana and 2 tbsps yogurt.

Dear Sailu
Mouth-watering!! Was wondering how to use overripe bananas… perfect!
Could u pls add microwave recipes too.. or if microwave was being used in a particular recipe, the procedure.
Thanks
Crunchy topping is very tempting. Can’t wait to try. Nice way to use up overripe bananas, which i always have in plenty.
YUM…YUM….YUM…am not able to move away from this page…they look so delish…..lovely and they are eggless…perfect for me….you rock sailu
Sailu - It looks gorgeous. I always end up making banana bread - at least I can now have an option with those over ripe bananas. The substitution of the egg was very cool.
hey sailu … its mouthwatering. definitely wud try these ..but what if i have to use eggs how many do i use instead of bananas .. let me know.
I am a constant viewer of your website .. now i am so addicted that the first thing i do is check ur website in the morning .. thanks for sharing such good recipes and wonderful pictures.
Thank you, Sri.:) One egg or in its place one mashed banana+2tbsps yogurt.

Sailu, it can’t be a better way to use the over ripen bananas, kids will just love them esp the crumbs are making me saliavate. Very good pictures.
hey sailu … its mouthwatering and yummy too. definitely I will try these ..

Awesome sailu.. They look so tempting … might as well grab it from the monitor …
As I am reading this I am having a banana muffin for my breakfast …coincidence isn’t it ?:) And can imagine how happy ur son must ve been waking up to the smell of baked goodies
Banana-nut muffins are eternal favorites, and adding that crumb topping sure takes them to anoter level! nicely done Sailu:)
The crumb on top is just awesome
Very tempting cupcakes
Heavenly!
very yummy and mouthwatering…
I make banana muffins all the time. Have never tried it with a crumb topping. Yours looks wonderful, Sailu.
May I have one please? Looks so yummy and an ingenious way to use up overripe bananas.
Love banana muffins..I like the crumby topping here..I thought u had used some reare ingredient for it..But only APflour n brown sugar!amazing
Its surprising how the sugar is crumbly even after baking. Cute breakfast indeed.
That luks so yummy and im writing this at 1 in the afternoon without having food so u can imagine..
Hi Sailu,
This might sound silly but where do you buy paper cups for the muffins? Since yesterday i have this craving to bake muffins, I have the steel pan and steel cups but i don’t have paper cups. I don’t know where to buy them here(Noida). Can I still go ahead and bake them in the steel pan directly?
Thanks,
DJ
The muffin liners were from US. Cupcake or muffin liners will be available in most bakery supply stores. You can grease the muffin pan and spoon the batter.
Crumbs looks wonderful on top.I have never made eggless so far, must try once!:)
Dear sailu …muffins look wonderful and cannot wait to make them..
I wish I was there to enjoy this for breakfast

Thank you!We can always use a new way to use bananas with so many getting ripe around here.
Hi Sailaja….the muffins look so tempting that I wish I could have a bite straight from those pics…..Thanks for posting this one…was looking forward for some eggless delights…cheers again
Hey Sailaja!
As I’ve said many times before - awesome post!
I made these muffins today, for a close friend of mine who absolutely loves banana muffins and can eat them everyday
She loved it! Except I messed up with the crumbs….mine were goooey. Guess I added very little sugar and flour compared to the butter. I also added some raisins and walnuts. Next time I shall make em more powder like consistency.
Thanks girl!
Love,
Indian Girl
I have 2 over ripe bananas lying on the counter…. I’ll halve your recipe. Picture looks good
Hey Sailu, I’m with Stella on microwave method to your recipes? Please? Because I don’t have an oven, you know.
A fortnight ago I figured out how to do the dum for biriyanis in a microwave, and I’m pretty impressed with myself!
Looks so lovely!
Dear Sailaja,
Can I come over for breakfast:-))))
lovely looking muffins there!!!!!!please can u let me know how to make these in microwave ?
Regards,
Veda
Sailu,
Yum-O I am going to try this.My daughter loves these banana cup cakes as she puts it and loves anything that is crunchy. Thanks for making this and sharing it with us. I loved the photo makes me want to bake.
Just never posted a comment, made it abt 10 days ago and it was a super hit, at a potluck party. Everyone liked the flavor of banana. One lady said that instead of choco chips, one should use walnuts or pecans to get the right taste. I too felt when she said, as i am not a chocolate freak. But my boys like the combo. Thanks again Sailu.
Sailu,
Please, post something. The first thing I do after coming to office everyday is check whether you have posted anything. All your posts are so good and your food and pictures are heavenly. Thanks for making our cooking(learning) experiences beautiful.

I’m waiting to try it. My kids love cup cakes. this sounds healthy.
Looks lovely. Can I bake this as a cake instead of a muffin ? Also , can the banana + yogurt be used as a egg substitute in all recipes ? Or is it different for cookies, cakes etc ?
