How to Make Banana Raspberry Streusel Muffins

1. **Make the Streusel:** In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. **Preheat Oven:** Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
3. **Prepare Muffin Tin:** Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease and flour the cups well.
4. **Combine Dry Ingredients:** In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
5. **Cream Butter and Sugar:** In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 3/4 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
6. **Add Wet Ingredients:** Add 3 ripe mashed bananas (about 1 1/2 cups mashed) and 1/2 cup milk to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
7. **Combine Wet and Dry:** Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
8. **Fold in Berries:** Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries (or blueberries/blackberries).
9. **Fill and Top:** Fill the prepared muffin cups about 2/3 full. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the streusel topping evenly over the muffins.
10. **Bake:** Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
11. **Cool:** Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
