Using frozen bananas
However, if like us, your bananas rarely stick around long enough to become over-ripe, freeze ripe bananas so you always have some on hand.
Freeze them with the skin on, or peel them first and transferred to a zip-loc bag. Then bring them to room temperature before using.
Step by step shots
- Preheat the oven. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt
- Mash the bananas, then add to a bowl with vanilla, sugar, melted butter and eggs. Mix well.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, then mix till there are no lumps of flour. Take care not to over mix or this will produce dense muffins.
- Line a muffin tray with muffin paper and bake.
Streusel topping
Combine the brown sugar, flour, ground cinnamon in a mixing bowl, then add butter and mix well. Sprinkle over the muffins and bake.
Optional extra
Stir ½ cup, milk or dark chocolate chips into the batter before spooning into the muffin tray.
Storing
Keep the muffins in an airtight container and keep in a cool place.
The muffins also freeze very well. Keep in zip-loc bags for up to 3 months.
