Heavenly Banana Muffin
If you like the banana bread recipe that I’ve shared previously, you’ll definitely love this–the HEAVENLY banana muffin!! Using the leftover overripe bananas from making banana bread, I tried this excellent self-improvised recipe. Even my loyal food taster (who is a fussy eater) claimed that these are non-ordinary, deliciously flavourful and moist muffins!!
I really liked the topping of these muffins. The crispy texture of crumbs tasted delightful! Besides, the aromatic banana flavour was simply delectable!! I was really glad that it turned out to be a successful attempt. These are the best muffins I’ve ever tasted (not being bias); they are soft, buttery, and incredibly yummy! Craving for some mouthwatering muffins? Try this out!!
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup white sugar
1 + 1/3 cup butter/margarine, melted
1 cup mashed overripe banana
1 tsp vanilla extract
Topping:
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp butter/margarine
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Directions:
1. Combine all-purpose and whole wheat flour, together with baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix well.
2. In a separate bowl, beat together egg, white sugar, melted butter/margarine with a hand mixer on low speed, for 1-2 minutes. Add mashed banana and vanilla extract into egg mixture. Beat until batter is well-mixed, on low speed.
3. Form a well in the centre of flour mixture. Pour in banana mixture gradually. Stir just enough to mix well.
4. Prepare the topping by mixing together brown sugar, butter/margarine, all-purpose flour, and ground cinnamon. Mix with hand to form crumbs.
5. Pour batter into a lined muffin pan. Sprinkle topping on them.
6. Bake in preheated oven at 350 F for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the middle of muffin.
Yield: ~ 10 medium-size muffins
Suggestion: Add another 1/2 cup mashed overripe banana for a stronger banana flavour

[...] was my second attempt making some banana muffins with the recipe I used previously. Everything was the same, except for the amount of mashed overripe banana used. [...]
