Banana Streusel Muffins
Description
This Banana Streusel Muffins recipe combines all-purpose flour with baking soda, salt, and cinnamon to make a spiced base. Wet ingredients include egg, brown sugar, vanilla extract, melted butter, mashed bananas, and milk. The batter is mixed gently to incorporate ingredients without overworking.
Each muffin is filled about two-thirds with batter then topped with a crumbly streusel mixture consisting of sugars, cinnamon, salt, melted butter, and flour. The muffins bake until the tops become golden and slightly crisp while the centers remain moist and tender, benefiting from the banana’s natural moisture.
The contrast of the soft muffins with a sweet and slightly crunchy crumble makes these a comforting breakfast or snack. Adapted from banana spice muffin recipes, these can be portioned evenly using a scoop for consistent size and baking results.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 egg large
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled
- 3 banana mashed, large
- 2/3 cup milk
crumb topping
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and spices. Set aside. Line a muffin tin with liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk the egg and brown sugar together until smooth and no lumps remain. Add in vanilla extract, butter and bananas, whisking again until combined. Gradually add in dry ingredients, mixing until just incorporated. Stir in the milk and mix until just combined. Fill each muffin liner 2/3 of the way full with batter (I use a 1/4 cup measure to get the muffins to be of equal size). Top them with the crumb topping.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until tops are no longer wet and become slightly golden. Remove and let cool until cool to the touch.
crumb topping
- To make the crumb topping, whisk together the sugar, cinnamon, salt and melted butter until combined. Whisk for a a good minute or two until the sugar begins to dissolve, then use a wooden spoon to stir in the flour. The mixture will be crumb-like and dry. Almost like a sludge or paste. This is what you want! Sprinkle the crumb on top of the cake.
Notes
- This recipe is adapted from a banana spice muffin version, emphasizing balanced spices and textures.
