BANANA MUFFINS
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
½ cup (100g) white sugar
¼ cup (50g) brown sugar
½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil
2 large ripe bananas, mashed
2 large eggs
¼ cup (60ml) milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the crumble topping:
¼ cup (30g) all-purpose flour
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp white sugar
¼ tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp cold butter, cut into cubes
Muffin pan size: 3oz
Procedure:
1. Preheat the oven to 428°F (220°C). In a small bowl, make the crumble. Combine flour, brown sugar, white sugar, and cinnamon. Add cold butter and use your fingers or a fork to rub it in until the mixture becomes crumbly. Place in the fridge to chill while you prepare the batter.
2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
3. In a larger bowl, combine mashed bananas, white sugar, brown sugar, oil, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Add the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
4. Divide batter evenly into a lined muffin pan, filling each cup to the brim. Sprinkle cold crumble generously over each muffin. Bake at 428°F (220°C) for 7 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for another 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
5. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Makes 12 muffins.
