Banana Muffins

This morning I was looking on Pinterest trying to find a good breakfast recipe.  I am sick of the same old stuff.  I came across this banana muffin recipe.  I looked at the ingredients and found that everything was gout friendly and it looked like my boys would love them.  Also I had 4 ripe banana on my counter I needed to get rid of.

I started by adding 1/3 cup of butter, 4 ripe bananas, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 1 egg together.

What the mashed bananas, sugar, butter, and egg look like.

After I mixed the wet ingratiates, I started with the dry.  I mixed 1 1/2 cups of flour, 1 tsp baking soda, and 1 tsp of baking powder.  I made the streusel topping but next time add a lot less flour.

Muffins in the pan and streusel topping.

What they looked like baked.

After the oven.

My kids loved them.  My 7 year old had 2 and my 4 year old wanted them every morning.  They were delicious  and gout friendly.

These are the best banana muffins I’ve ever eaten. Seriously good. Add chocolate or nuts – anything that suits your fancy but simply plain they’re fantastic.

Recipe type: Bread

Cuisine: American

Serves: 12

Ingredients

• 4 large very ripe bananas mashed
• 1 egg (beaten)
• ½ cup sugar (you could use more if you like them REALLY sweet but the bananas are sweet enough)
• ⅓ cup butter, melted
• 1½ cups plain all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda (bicarb)
• ½ teaspoon salt

Streusel Topping (not necessary! but it’s what I made)

• ½ cup plain flour
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• ½ stick (57 grams) cold butter
• ¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 180C/350F
2. Mash bananas and add the lightly beaten egg, sugar and butter and mix well to combine and set aside.
3. In another bowl add the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt and whisk well. Add nuts or chocolate or whatever add-ins you want to the dry ingredients.
4. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until nearly all the flour has disappeared. Overmixed muffins are tough.
5. Pour into greased cupcake pans (add streusel if you wish) and bake for about 20 minutes. Touch the tops and if they spring back, they’re done.

Streusel Topping

1. Place all ingredients into a food processor and pulse until it’s streuselly. (or crumbly) If you don’t have a processor, a fork works just fine – or your fingers.
