If you love classic coffee cake and banana bread then these Banana Coffee Cake Muffins were made for YOU! They're made with bananas and greek yogurt which help keep them moist and are the perfect balance of sweet + crumbly. Plus one muffin alone packs 6g of protein!
3Tbspmelted coconut oil (45g)butter or any oil works
1tspvanilla
2cupsKodiak Cakes (212g)or any pancake mix
1/3cupgranulated sweetener (64g)I used Truvia
1tspcinnamon
1tspbaking powder
Crumb Topping:
1/4cuplight brown sugar* (48g)see notes
1tspcinnamon
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin pan with liners or spray with cooking spray. Whisk the crumb topping ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
In a medium bowl, mash the banana with a fork (I like to leave some lumps) then whisk in the yogurt, milk, oil and vanilla until combined.
Add the pancake mix, sweetener, cinnamon and baking powder and mix just until the dry ingredients are incorporated.
Add the muffin batter evenly amongst the muffin cavities. Then sprinkle the crumb topping evenly across all the tops.
Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Notes
To make gluten-free: use your favorite gluten-free pancake mix (Kodiak Cakes also has a version)To make dairy-free + vegan: use dairy-free yogurt + a plant-based protein powder (Kodiak Cakes also has a version).*I recommend using real light brown sugar for the crumb topping! I tried a batch using Truvia brown sugar for the topping and they're still yummy, they just don't quite have that same sugary crunch. And definitely aren't as pretty hahaTruvia or any of favorite sweetener you want to use should work just fine in the muffin batter though!
