Classic Banana Nut Muffins
Description
Classic Banana Nut Muffins bring together mashed ripe bananas and a mixture of all-purpose and whole wheat flours to create moist and flavorful muffins. The batter uses dark brown sugar and vegetable oil for richness, with baking powder and cinnamon adding a gentle rise and warm spice. Chopped walnuts folded into the batter provide a crunchy contrast to the tender crumb.
The streusel topping, made from oats, additional brown sugar, softened butter, and cinnamon, is sprinkled on top before baking, resulting in a textured, sweet crust once baked. Baking at 375°F for around 25-30 minutes ensures the muffins are cooked through with a golden exterior. Once out of the oven and slightly cooled, the muffins can be removed from the tin and stored.
These muffins work well as a breakfast treat or a snack alongside coffee or tea. Their banana base provides natural sweetness, while the oats and nuts add heartiness. Keeping them in an airtight container at room temperature helps preserve freshness for several days.
