Mantecadas De Plátano (Banana Muffins)
Description
The Mantecadas De Plátano (Banana Muffins) recipe features a batter made by folding mashed bananas, sugar, egg, and canola oil into a dry mixture of flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. A crumb topping made from brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and cold butter is crumbled on top before baking. Baking at 375 °F in lined or greased muffin cups yields muffins that are moist and tender inside with a sweet, spiced crumb on top. The combination of banana and cinnamon provides warm, sweet flavors enhanced by the crunchy topping.
The crumbly topping adds texture contrast to the soft muffin. The baking soda and powder ensure a light rise while the cinnamon in both batter and topping tie the flavors together. These banana muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for a mildly sweet breakfast or snack option.
