Banana Muffins with Peanut Streusel


I love seeing muffins that have streusel but for some reason I rarely make them. I think there may have been a streusel mishap back in the day that kept me from doing it more often. Or maybe I kept telling myself - unnecessary calories. I can be a killjoy.

I absolutely adore the streusel on these muffins and excitedly watched as they rose in the oven.

Banana Muffins with Peanut Streusel

Ingredients
Streusel
1/2 cup peanuts
2/3 cup flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
dash or 2 of cinnamon
4 tablespoons butter, melted

Muffins
190 grams flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda 
1/2 teaspoon salt 
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly ground 
1 1/2 cups mashed banana
2/3 cup sugar
6 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons milk or water
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla

Method

Chop the peanuts, toss with flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt. Pour in the melted butter. The mixture should be clumpy. If it's too wet, add a little more flour. 

Line a muffin pan. Preheat oven to 425 F. 

Mix flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. Set aside. Mix banana, sugar, oil, and milk or water. Add in the egg and vanilla. 

Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just incorporated and there are no more streaks of flour. 

Divide the batter among 11 to 12 muffin wells. Top with streusel. 

Bake for 5 minutes then lower the oven temperature to 350 F. Bake an additional 10-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the muffin comes out clean.
