Print Recipe

Delicious homemade muffins made with ripe bananas and semi-sweet chocolate chips, topped with a crunchy cinnamon streusel.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  • 1 and 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 and 1/2 cups mashed bananas (about 4 medium or 3 large bananas)
  • 1/4 cup plain yogurt or sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and prepare a muffin pan by greasing it or lining it with muffin liners.
  2. Mix together the ground cinnamon, brown sugar, and chopped walnuts (if using) to create the streusel topping, then set it aside.
  3. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until they are fully combined.
  4. Cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in the egg, then stir in the mashed bananas and yogurt until all ingredients are well blended.
  6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Sprinkle the streusel mixture generously over the tops of the muffin batter in each cup.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes at 425°F, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (177°C) and continue baking for an additional 15-16 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

Use overripe bananas for optimal sweetness and flavor. Store muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
