I made these really delicious banana muffins yesterday! I needed a distraction, so I saw that we had some bananas that were getting really ripe and decided to bake with them. I just made banana bread not too long ago, so I wanted to try something new...banana muffins with a streusel topping!
Instead of using the banana bread recipe, I changed it up because I was afraid they'd be too dense. So, here is the recipe:
Muffins
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powdere
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large ripened bananas, smashed
3/4 cup white sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/3 cup butter, melted
Streusel
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
4 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 Tablespoons room-temperature butter
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 375ยบ F.
2. Line muffin tins with muffin cups or spray the wells with non-stick cooking spray.
3. Combine first 4 ingredients in a mixer and mix well.
4. Incorporate the last 4 ingredients with the dry ingredients. Combine until the flour mixture is just moistened.
5. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups.
6. In a small bowl, combine the first 3 streusel ingredients. Then, cut the butter into the sugar mixture.
7. Sprinkle the topping over the muffin batter inside prepared muffin cups.
8. Bake in preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
9. Turn out the muffins onto a clean counter space to allow them to cool.
I hope you like them as much as I did!
