How to Make Old Fashioned Banana Muffins
- **Make the Streusel Topping:** In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, and 1/4 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. Set aside.
- **Dry Ingredients:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- **Egg Whites:** In a large bowl, beat 2 large egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- **Egg Yolks & Wet Ingredients:** In a separate small bowl, whisk together 2 large egg yolks and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- **Combine Wet Ingredients:** In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolk mixture until well combined.
- **Add Buttermilk & Bananas:** In a small bowl, stir 1 teaspoon baking soda into 1 cup buttermilk. Add the buttermilk mixture and 1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas to the creamed butter mixture. Mix until just combined.
- **Combine Wet & Dry:** Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites.
- **Fill & Top:** Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Sprinkle each muffin with the streusel topping.
- **Bake:** Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
- **Cool:** Let the muffins cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
