Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Deliciously Moist Banana Streusel Muffins.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). While it warms up, grab your muffin tin and give it a light spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking. This will ensure your muffins come out perfectly every time!
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of sifted whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. This dry mixture is the foundation of your muffins, so make sure it's well combined!
Step 3
In another bowl, mix together the mashed bananas, 1/2 cup of melted unsalted butter, 1 large egg, 3/4 cup of white sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until everything is nicely blended and the bananas are well incorporated. The aroma of bananas and vanilla will fill your kitchen!
Step 4
Now, gently fold the banana mixture into the dry ingredients. Be careful not to overmix; you want the batter to be just moistened. A few lumps are perfectly fine!
Step 5
Spoon the batter into your prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. This will give them room to rise beautifully in the oven!
Step 6
For the delicious streusel topping, combine 1/4 cup of dark brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of whole wheat flour, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Mix it well, then mash in 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter with a fork until the mixture resembles crumbs. This will add a delightful crunch to your muffins!
Step 7
Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over the muffin batter in each cup. This is where the magic happens!
Step 8
Bake your muffins in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. The smell will be irresistible!
Step 9
Once baked, let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature, and savor every bite!
