Banana Streusel Muffins
Description
The Banana Streusel Muffins recipe features a batter made with mashed bananas mixed with sugar, softened butter, eggs, and vanilla extract, then combined with a sifted flour mixture containing baking powder, baking soda, and salt. The muffins are portioned into a prepared pan and topped with a streusel made from butter, granulated and brown sugars, flour, and cinnamon. Baking at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes creates a moist muffin base with a crumbly, cinnamon-scented topping that contrasts nicely with the soft interior. The subtle salt in salted butter balances the sweetness throughout.
The barreled mash of ripe banana ensures natural sweetness and moisture, while the cinnamon in the streusel adds warmth and a hint of spice. The streusel topping upgrades simple banana muffins by introducing a crisp texture that complements the soft crumb. This makes them suitable for a casual breakfast or as an afternoon snack.
Serve these muffins slightly cooled so the streusel coating remains intact. They pair well with coffee or tea, offering a gentle banana flavor and a tender mouthfeel accented by the cinnamon topping. The recipe yields a dozen muffins, ideal for sharing or enjoying over a few days with proper storage in an airtight container.
Ingredients
Banana Muffins
- 3 banana
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup butter softened, salted
