Ingredients
Scale
- Muffin Batter:
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- Streusel Topping:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup brown sugar

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, mix the mashed bananas, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, and flour. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined.
- In another bowl, prepare the streusel by mixing flour, brown sugar, softened butter, chopped pecans, and cinnamon until crumbly.
- Divide the muffin batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over each muffin.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
