In reply to Yvette.

You can also freeze it and use it straight from the freezer, sprinkled on top just like you normally would.

In reply to Yvette. Hi Yvette! I think it could probably last up to a week in the refrigerator. :)

Good Morning! love this crumble! My question, your recipe says you can make this up to 3 days in advance and to place in an air tight container. Ok, the question…how long in advance can I make it if I refrigerate it in an air tight container?

Thank you!

In reply to star. I'm so sorry I missed this! I would probably bake it for about 10 minutes. :)

Quick and Easy! Definitely Elevated my Banana Bread. Made one for a new neighbor and had to keep one to try. Our family loved the Streusel.

In reply to Jungyeol Park. I'm so sorry to hear this is happening! You may need a touch more flour in your topping if it's melting. :(

In reply to Karen Allen. Hi Karen! It should hold up just fine. It may soften slightly. Just make sure to keep the muffin wrapped tightly while thawing to prevent it from becoming soggy. :)

How does the Streusel hold up if you freeze the muffins? I'm making lots of banana muffins to put in the freezer. y hubby is a trucker and I always ensure he has lots of homemade goodies in his lunch cooler. I always wrap the muffins individually in saran wrap & freezer them. this recipe looks awesome hun. thank you

I have tried strussle and crumble toppings–not yours yet until I understand what I’m doing wrong. I think the temperature I bake is to high. The recipe calls for 425°f for 5 minutes, allowing the muffins to rise higher,then lower to 350°f for remaining time. The oven is supposed to remain closed. Everything is fine going into the oven,my issue is the topping melts making a hard shell over the muffins and a mess on my pan. I even think to make the butter colder but it has the same results. It is interesting to look at,but not desired. I apologize for a long letter for something that is probably very easy to fix.Thank you for any help.

In reply to Kim Keller. Hi Kim! I think you can stir some oatmeal in here. I would probably use a touch less flour. :)

This recipe is good but makes a TON of streusel! Like probably enough for 50 muffins at least!

I was taught to put oatmeal in my crumbly toppings. Do I then need to add more butter. I used to make it right but the years have taken my baking skills away.

topping was tasty but recipe makes more than enough for 12 muffins. I topped off 18 and still had a good amount left over.

In reply to Tiffany. An air tight at room temperature will work just fine. :)

In reply to J. I am making some chocolate chip muffins. Is there a way to make this a chocolate streusel topping?
