You know the drill...

New banana recipe up on the blog = I needed to use up my overripe bananas ;)

But it's all good! 

Because that way we can all try many yummy banana baking recipes together. 

So: long live the overripe banana. 

Without it, the baking world would not be the same.

Whole Wheat Banana Streusel Muffins

Adapted from Baked by Rachel

For the muffins

60 g (1/4 cup) butter, softened

100 g (1/2 cup) light brown sugar

2 eggs

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

190 g (1 1/2 cup) whole wheat flour

For the streusel

65 g (1/2 cup) whole wheat flour

4 tablespoons light brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

60 g (1/4 cup) butter, melted

• Preheat oven to 175ºC (350ºF). 
• For the streusel, whisk together dry ingredients. Add melted butter and stir until crumbly. Let cool in the fridge while you prepare the muffins.
• For the muffins, cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs and banana and mix until smooth. Add dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated.
• Fill your muffin tin with batter, then top with cold streusel - just crumble over the muffin batter.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes. Let cool.

My modifications:

I halved the amount of sugar for the muffins (the original recipe calls for 1/2 cup granulated and 1/2 cup light brown sugar. With half the amount the muffins were still sweet enough. There was an additional glaze over the streusel in the original recipe which I omitted completely. I'm sure it would have been very yummy but I didn't miss it (and I have the feeling that I was eating something remotely healthy...).

The taste:

Healthy. But in a good way! Perfect for breakfast.
