I’m serious, I can’t have just one of these.

Why You’ll Love This Cinnamon Streusel Chocolate Chip Banana Muffin

A little something extra than your typical banana chocolate chip muffin with that added streusel topping!
It is both sweet and delicious, and can be eaten for breakfast or as a sweet treat!
Can be made without chocolate chips, nuts can be added, this recipe is extremely versatile!

What You’ll Need To Make These Muffins:

Flour – I like Gold Medal but any all purpose flour will do.
Baking Powder & Baking Soda – Helps the muffin to rise, though banana muffins don’t rise as much as other types of muffins.
Salt – To temper the sweetness.
Cinnamon – For added flavor and for the streusel topping.
Ripe Bananas – Very ripe bananas are best for this recipe!
Butter – Unsalted or salted, if using salted add less salt during the recipe.
Brown Sugar – Light or dark brown sugar.
White Sugar – For sweetness!
Eggs – To bind the muffins
Vanilla – To give it that baked delicious flavor!
Chocolate Chips – Because what are muffins without chocolate chips?!

How To Make Cinnamon Streusel Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins

Preheat oven to 375.
Melt 1/4 cup butter for streusel topping.
Add 1/3 cup flour, 1/3 cup brown sugar, and 1 TSP cinnamon to the melted butter and mix.
If the mixture is too wet, add more flour. If the streusel mixture is too dry, add more butter.
Set streusel topping aside.
Mash 3-4 large, ripe bananas in a large bowl.
Add dry ingredients 1 3/4 cup all purpose flour, 1 TSP baking soda, 1 TSP Baking powder, and combine in a large mixing bowl. Add a pinch of salt if using unsalted butter. Add 1 TSP cinnamon.
Set dry ingredients aside.
Mix 1/2 cup melted butter, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup white sugar, 2 TSP vanilla, and 2 eggs together in a large mixing bowl.
Add mashed bananas to the wet ingredient mixture.
Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredient mixture and mix to combine. Be careful not to overmix.
Add 2 cups of either milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips and mix until just combined.
Add muffin batter to tins and add streusel topping to the top of the batter.
Bake at 375 for 17-20 minutes.
Enjoy!

Notes:

I like to butter the outside of my muffin tins incase my muffins overflow, that way the streusel won’t stick to the tin and be left behind!
For bigger muffins increase baking time until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffin comes out clean.
If using salted butter, add less salt during the recipe.
