How to Make Banana Bran Muffins With Strawberry Butter
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
- Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in 1 cup bran cereal and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
- In a medium bowl, lightly beat 1 large egg.
- Stir in 3 ripe mashed bananas (about 1 1/2 cups), 1/2 cup plain yogurt, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons molasses.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with a mixture of 1/4 cup quick-cooking rolled oats, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, prepare the strawberry butter: In a medium bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter and 1/2 cup strawberry jam until smooth and creamy.
- Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature with a generous dollop of strawberry butter.
