Banana Muffins with Oatmeal Streusel Topping
Banana Muffins with Oatmeal Streusel Topping

You know the sad bananas you have on the counter? I have a home for them!

Banana Streusel Muffins
These muffin have 1 1/2 cups of mashed bananas so it is very banana-y. The muffins don't have any dairy, but the topping has a little butter (you can sub margarine if you want to make it dairy free).

Banana Muffins
I used about 3 1/2 medium bananas, and mashed them with a fork to yield 1 1/2 cups of mashed bananas. It's easy to make with a simple combination of wet and dry ingredients. The brown sugar gets incorporate in the wet ingredients so it can dissolve a bit with the egg and oil.

Banana Streusel Muffins
These are good both warm from the oven and later in the morning.

1/2 cup (50 grams) light or brown sugar
1/4 cup old fashioned oats
2 Tablespoons (18 grams) all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 Tablespoons butter

Batter - Dry ingredients:
1 1/2 cups (210 grams) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder

1. Prepare 12 muffin tins with paper liners or with butter/flour.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
3. Mix all the ingredients together (except butter) in a small bowl. Add the butter and use your fingers to make small crumb. Set aside.
4. Mix the dry ingredients of the muffins together in a large bowl.
5. Mix together the wet ingredients with a fork or whisk until combined.
6. Mix the wet batter with the dry ingredients quickly and with a few strokes. Don't overmix.
7. Scoop batter into muffin tin. Fill 3/4 full. Spread topping on each muffin.
8. Bake in middle of the oven for 20-25 minutes (depending on your oven - mine took 23 minutes) until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Let the muffins sit for 5 minutes and then carefully remove to wire rack to fully cool...or eat them a little warm!
