Banana Cherry Chocolate Chip Muffins With Brown Sugar Streusel
- FOR THE MUFFINS:
- 1 whole Egg
- 1/2 cups Canola Oil
- 3/4 cups Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 3 whole Ripe Bananas
- 1-3/4 cup All-purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/4 teaspoons Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips
- 1/2 cups Dried Montmorency Cherries (or Whatever Dried Cherries You Have On Hand)
- FOR THE STREUSEL:
- 1/3 cups Brown Sugar
- 2 Tablespoons All-purpose Flour
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- Preheat oven to 375u0b0F/190u0b0C, place a rack in the middle of the oven. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- For the muffins:
- In a large bowl, mix egg, oil, white sugar, and vanilla extract. Peel then break bananas into 2-inch pieces, add them to the mix and give them a good mash until they're fully incorporated. Next, dump the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt right into that same bowl. Carefully stir the dry ingredients around a bit before quickly folding them into the wet ingredients with a spatula. Don't overmix.
- Fold in chocolate chips and cherries (I left the cherries whole but you can certainly chop them up).
- Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to evenly distribute the batter between the muffin cups.
- For the streusel mix:
- Blend together brown sugar and flour in a bowl. Use your fingers to blend in the butter. When the mixture has a coarse, crumbly texture, heap a teaspoon or so in the middle of each muffin.
- Bake for 21-23 minutes. These are almost impossible to test for doneness with a wooden skewer, because they're so jam-packed with chocolate chips. Just take them out of the oven when the tops look adequately brown and crunchy and heavenly.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for about five minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
