Ingredients
  

For the banana muffin batter
  • 2 1/2 cups (350g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder or espresso grounds
  • 3 (375g) large very brown bananas
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120mL) olive oil
  • 1/2 cup (80g) dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (110g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (130g) greek yogurt or skyr
For the crumble topping
  • 3 tablespoons (45g) salted butter chilled
  • 1/3 cup (52g) cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons (30g) dark brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons (25g) rolled oats
For the sugar layer
  • 3 tablespoons (35g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon (14g) dark brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon (9g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and espresso in a large bowl and set aside.
  3. Mash the bananas thoroughly in a bowl, then mix in the eggs, vanilla extract, olive oil, sugars, and skyr until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in batches, mixing until a thick batter forms, and set aside.
  5. Combine the chilled butter and flour for the crumble topping in a small bowl and toss to coat. Add the sugar and oats, then work the butter by hand into a crumb-like texture with pieces no larger than a pencil eraser; refrigerate while preparing the remaining ingredients.
  6. Whisk all the sugar layer ingredients together in a small bowl.
  7. Line the cups of a jumbo muffin tin with parchment paper squares; refer to the recipe notes if using a standard-sized tin.
  8. Fill each cup with a small amount of batter, sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons of the sugar mixture, and add more batter until three-quarters full before topping generously with the crumble.
  9. Bake at 375°F for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Notes

If you are using a normal sized muffin tin, add only 3/4 tsp of sugar mixture to the center of each muffin, and bake at 375°F for 18-20 minutes. This will make 16 muffins.
