BANANA CRUNCH MUFFINS



Banana Crunch Muffins image

I made these for the first time after my baby was born 9 months ago and let me tell you...I ate about the entire batch! They are so darn yummy...and moist! Everyone that has tasted them absolutely love them. I have played with the ingredients a bit, toasting the coconut, using granola with raisins and almonds in it, every time they turn out perfect. Whenever I make these, I always think that the batter is a good base for any type of muffin (without the bananas, etc) but I haven't tried it yet. I originally found this recipe from the Barefoot Contessa.

Tips:

  • To ensure your banana crunch muffins turn out perfectly, make sure to use ripe bananas. Overripe bananas add a natural sweetness and moisture to the muffins.
  • For a crispier streusel topping, use cold butter and flour. This will help the streusel hold its shape and create a more distinct crunch.
  • If you don't have a muffin pan, you can bake the batter in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Feel free to experiment with different variations of the recipe. For example, you can add chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit to the batter. You can also use different flavors of yogurt or buttermilk, such as vanilla or blueberry.
  • Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the muffins for up to 2 months. To freeze, place the muffins in a single layer in a freezer-safe bag or container.
