Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- For the streusel topping:
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of melted butter and 3/4 cup of sugar until well combined. Add in the mashed bananas, milk, and vanilla extract, and stir until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined. Fold in the chopped nuts.
- In a small bowl, prepare the streusel topping by combining 1/4 cup of flour, 1/4 cup of sugar, 2 tablespoons of cold cubed butter, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Use a fork or pastry cutter to mix until crumbly.
- Divide the muffin batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the batter in each cup.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Streusel-Topped Banana Nut Muffins have a rich history dating back to the 18th century, originating in Germany. The word "streusel" comes from the German word "streuen," meaning to sprinkle or scatter, which perfectly describes the crumbly topping that sets these muffins apart. This delightful treat made its way to America with German immigrants, where it gained popularity in bakeries and households alike. Renowned chefs like Ina Garten and Martha Stewart have put their own spin on this classic recipe, adding a touch of elegance to the humble muffin. Today, the best versions of Streusel-Topped Banana Nut Muffins can be found in artisanal bakeries across the country, with a perfect balance of moist banana, crunchy nuts, and buttery streusel topping. The key to achieving the perfect Streusel-Topped Banana Nut Muffins lies in using ripe, mashed bananas for maximum flavor and moisture. The addition of chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, provides a delightful crunch and nutty undertones. For a twist, some bakers incorporate chocolate chips or a hint of cinnamon for added depth of flavor.
