Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/2 cups mashed ripe banana (I used 3 small bananas)
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup caramel baking morsels
- 5 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 5 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions
- Make the streusel mixture by combining the flour, sugar, and cinnamon. Add the butter and use a fork to cut it into the dry mixture until small, crumbly pieces form. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. This recipe makes 16 muffins, so line one muffin tin, plus 4 muffin wells in another tin, with either silicone baking cups or baking papers.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine.
- In a separate bowl, use a mixer to blend the banana and sugar. Add one egg at a time, blending. Add the butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
- A little at a time, add the flour mixture to the banana mixture. Use a wooden spoon to mix. Continue until all the ingredients are incorporated.
- Fold the caramel bits into the mixture and stir to combine.
- Fill each of the muffin cups to about 1/4-inch from the top. Spoon the streusel mixture over the tops of each muffin.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the batter puffs up to about 1/2-inch over the top. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
- Continue to bake for 10-14 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of one of the muffins comes out clean. Remove and allow the muffins to sit a few minutes before transferring them to a baking rack to cool.
Notes
This recipe makes 16 muffins, so you'll need two tins for baking.
