I've been making the same banana bread recipe since I first learned to bake in my teens. I've adjusted that recipe to make muffins, and added a streusel topping for an extra treat.
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Cream together:
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup cream cheese
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
Add to butter/sugar mixture:
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 3 bananas, mashed
Mix wet ingredients into dry; stir just enough to moisten. Pour batter into regular sized muffin tins - makes about 11 muffins.
For the streusel topping, mix together:
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 8 pecans, finely chopped
- 1 Tbsp butter
Top each muffin with some of the streusel mix. Bake at 350 for approximately 25 minutes or until inserted toothpick comes out clean.
