How to Make Banana Streusel Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a large bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork. Add ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 large egg, and ¼ cup melted unsalted butter. Mix well.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fill each muffin liner about ¾ full.
  6. For the streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine ½ cup packed brown sugar, ½ cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the muffins.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
