Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for topping)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed (for topping)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (optional glaze)
- 1 tbsp milk (optional glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray generously with non-stick cooking spray.
- Prepare the streusel topping: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold cubed butter using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the mashed bananas with the melted butter. Stir in the granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, baking soda, and salt. Gently fold these dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture just until combined; be careful not to overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
- Generously sprinkle the prepared streusel topping over the batter in each muffin cup, pressing down lightly to adhere.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Optional: Whisk powdered sugar and milk together to create a glaze and drizzle over the cooled muffins for extra sweetness.
Notes
For best results, use bananas that are heavily spotted or brown. Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
