Easy Banana Muffins with Streusel Topping
First things first, gather all of your ingredients. You’ll want to have everything on hand because, let’s be honest, no one wants to race to the pantry halfway through mixing. It’s a muffin, not a triathlon!
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed (the riper, the better!)
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup sugar (you can reduce this if the bananas are really sweet)
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Streusel Topping Ingredients
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
Now, let’s get to the good stuff! Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s heating up, grab a large mixing bowl and mix together the mashed bananas and melted butter. It’s okay to use your hands if you really want to get in there – it’s just bananas after all!
Once that’s all mixed together and looking like a wonderful banana mash, sprinkle in the baking soda and salt. Give it a good stir. Then, mix in the sugar, egg, and vanilla until it’s all combined.
Now it’s time to gently fold in the flour. Remember, be gentle – we don’t want to wake the flour up too much! Too much mixing will make your muffins tough, and nobody wants tough muffins.
For the streusel topping, combine flour, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Use your fingers to mix it all together until it resembles crumbs – it should be as crumbly as your grandma’s stories about the old days!
Spoon the muffin batter into a lined or greased muffin tin, then sprinkle the streusel topping generously over each muffin. Pop those bad boys in the oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, let them cool for a few minutes. Then, it’s time to enjoy your incredibly easy banana muffins! Perfect for breakfast, a snack, or anytime you need something sweet in your life. Happy munching!
