3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons brown sugar for topping
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour for topping

1 tablespoon powdered sugar for dusting, optional
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
3. In a large bowl, mash the bananas, then whisk in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir gently just until combined.
5. In a small bowl, mix the topping brown sugar, topping flour, and topping butter until crumbly.
6. Divide the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
7. Sprinkle the crumb topping over each muffin.
8. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
10. Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve.
Notes
Use very ripe bananas with lots of brown spots for the sweetest flavor and softest texture.
Do not overmix the batter or the muffins can turn heavy instead of tender.
Let the muffins cool slightly before removing them from the pan so they keep their shape.
