Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425ºF / 220ºC and make the crumb topping and glaze.

In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar and milk. Set aside.

In a mixing bowl combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and melted butter with a fork. With your hands, press mixture together with your hands to form crumbs. Set in the refrigerator while you make the muffins.

In a mixing bowl combine the mashed bananas, butter, oil, eggs, sugar and vanilla extract. Stir to combine, set aside.

In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Gradually mix the dry ingredients and chocolate chips into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Lastly, add the milk and stir to combine.

Line a 6 or 12 count muffin pan. Evenly fill each muffin liner, the batter should go right to the top!

Take the topping and crumble it into fine crumbs over each muffin, pressing it on slightly.

Place the pan in the center of the oven and bake for 8 minutes at 425ºF / 220ºC, then keep the muffins in the oven, turn the temperature down to 350ºF / 180ºC and bake for until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Bake time for 6 jumbo muffins: 8 minutes at 425ºF, 25 minutes at 350

Bake time for 12 standard muffins: 8 minutes at 425ºF, 16 minutes at 350

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan.
