Warm, fall-inspired spices and a crunchy-sweet oat-streusel topping take these comforting oversized muffins over the top.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour (or substitute another cup of all-purpose flour)
1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Pinch ground cloves
2 medium ripe bananas (mashed (about 1 cup))
1 cup buttermilk*
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Streusel topping
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch salt
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (cut into 1/2-inch pieces)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a standard-size 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour(s), oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and cloves.
  • In a medium bowl, mash the bananas, then whisk in the buttermilk, brown sugar, oil, egg, and vanilla extract, stirring until blended.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture, and whisk just until blended.
  • Divide the batter between the muffin cups - about 1/3 cup worth of batter for each cup (I use an ice cream scoop with a trigger and it makes the job SO much easier!)
  • Make the streusel topping. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Using a pastry blender, two butter knives, or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour/oat mixture until it is the consistency of coarse crumbs (the butter pieces should be about pea-sized). Distribute the streusel topping evenly over the muffins.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool for about five minutes in the tins, then remove and place on a wire rack to cool.
  • They keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 - 3 days, or freeze them in a zipper bag for a couple of months.

SPICED BANANA MUFFINS



Spiced Banana Muffins image

Recipe by Canadian Chef Michael Smith. "A recipe is merely words on paper; a guideline, a starting point from which to improvise. It cannot pretend to replace the practiced hand and telling glance of a watchful cook. For that reason feel free to stir your own ideas into this dish. When you cook it once, it becomes yours, so personalize it a bit. Add more of an ingredient you like or less of something you don't like. Try substituting one ingredient for another. Remember words have no flavour, you have to add your own!" You got to love him!

Tips for Making Spiced Banana Streusel Muffins:

- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be. If your bananas aren't ripe enough, you can ripen them quickly by placing them in a paper bag with an apple for a day or two. - Cream together the butter and sugar: This will help to create a light and fluffy texture in your muffins. Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until they are light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. - Add the eggs one at a time: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling. Be sure to mix each egg in completely before adding the next one. - Fold in the dry ingredients: Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can make your muffins tough. Fold in the dry ingredients just until they are combined. - Make the streusel topping: The streusel topping is what gives these muffins their signature crunchy topping. To make the streusel topping, simply combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter in a small bowl and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. - Sprinkle the streusel topping on the muffins: Before baking the muffins, sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter. This will give your muffins a delicious crunchy topping. - Bake the muffins: Bake the muffins in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

These spiced banana streusel muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They are perfect for any occasion, and they are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
