Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup streusel topping
- 1/4 cup brown butter (for glaze)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 1-2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth and creamy using a fork or potato masher.
- Add honey, Greek yogurt, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and create a smooth mixture.
- In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. This helps remove any lumps and ensures even distribution of leavening agents.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough muffins.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Sprinkle the prepared streusel topping generously over each muffin, covering the surface completely.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
- While muffins are baking, prepare the brown butter glaze. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, cooking until it turns a golden brown color and develops a nutty aroma.
- Remove brown butter from heat and whisk in powdered sugar and milk until smooth and drizzling consistency is achieved.
- Remove muffins from oven and let cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- Once muffins are slightly cooled but still warm, drizzle brown butter glaze over the top of each muffin.
- Allow muffins to cool completely, allowing the glaze to set. Serve and enjoy at room temperature.
Tips
- Choose Ripe Bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be. Look for bananas with plenty of brown spots for the best results!
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until incorporated. Overmixing can lead to dense, tough muffins. A few lumps are perfectly fine!
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to add your favorite nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for an extra twist. Walnuts or pecans would pair wonderfully with the banana flavor.
- Perfect Streusel: For an even crunchier topping, make sure your streusel is clumpy and well-mixed. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon for added warmth.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking your muffins a couple of minutes before the recommended baking time. A toothpick should come out clean when they’re done.
- Store Properly: Keep any leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or freeze them for longer storage. Just reheat in the microwave for a quick treat!
- Glaze Variations: Experiment with the glaze by adding a splash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of sea salt for a gourmet touch. With these tips, you’ll be well on your way to baking the perfect batch of Banana Honey Yogurt Streusel Muffins that everyone will love!
