about the recipe

 

Banana bread is a staple. Why not swirl in some cinnamon sugar, top with crunch streusel, and serve in portable portions? I asked the same questions when I developed this recipe. 

​

It quickly became my most frequently requested baked good, by far.

​

I've made it dairy free, gluten free, both dairy and gluten free. The one time they didn't go well was when I used bananas that were not as ripe as I had hoped. Check out the tips & tricks section for more on that.

tips & tricks

 

Bananas are going to be a crucial part of how these turn out. Aim for medium sized, partially brown bananas. We don't want near-rotten bunches, and we want to avoid any green. Look for a few brown spots, and you're golden.

​

Store at room temperature in an airtight container for 3-5 days.

ingredients

Muffin Batter

1 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

2 cups all purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

4 ripe bananas

Cinnamon Swirl

3 tbs melted butter

3 tbs sugar

3 tbs brown sugar

recipe

1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare muffin tin with liners.

In a medium bowl, whisk sugar in butter. Add eggs and vanilla.

3

Separately, whisk together flour, baking soda and add to wet ingredients. Mash bananas until smooth, and then add to batter. Mix thoroughly until fully incorporated. Batter will be lumpy from bananas.

4

Combine ingredients for cinnamon swirl until texture of wet sand.

5

Combine ingredients for streusel topping until pea-sized lumps. Be careful not to over work, as butter will melt.

6

Spoon batter into muffin liners, about 1/2 full. Sprinkle and swirl cinnamon swirl mixture into batter. Top with another tablespoon of batter. Sprinkle streusel topping over batter. Bake for 35 mins or until toothpick comes out clean.
