Banana muffins are an excellent way to use up those bananas that have been forgotten and are now way overripened. Make these Banana Muffins with Streusel Crumb Topping for a special weekend breakfast treat.
These muffins need to be make with the ripest bananas as they will have extra sweetness from ripening so long. I have made these with different amounts of bananas and it turns out great every time. It will be just fine if you only have three bananas or if you have five. Use what you have.
These banana muffins with streusel crumb topping come together very easily. Cream together the butter and brown sugar with a whish or mixer until light. Add in the eggs and mashed bananas. Mix in flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined. I like to use a cookie scoop to transfer the batter into the muffin pans. Make the streusel topping and crumble onto the muffins before baking.
Streusel is a crumb topping made of fat, flour and sugar. This topping is exactly that. To make the crumb topping, mix flour, brown sugar, and sugar together. Drizzle in melted butter and toss it together until all the flour is moistened and the mixture is crumbly. Be careful not to over mix this as it will turn into a paste and not be crumbly anymore.
