Ingredients

muffins

streusel topping

  • cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoon cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line two 12 muffin pans with about 19-20 muffin liners. Set aside.
  • Make the muffins: Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, using a whisk, stir mashed bananas and sugar just until combined. Slowly mix in vegetable oil just until combined. Add eggs and vanilla and stir just until incorporated. Add dry ingredients and stir to combine. Don't overmix at any step. Fold in chocolate chips and banana chunks just until combined. Set aside.
  • Make the streusel: In a medium bowl combine flour, sugar, and butter and mix with your fingers until you have a crumbly mixture. 
  • Divide batter into muffin liners and sprinkle with streusel (and a few additional chocolate chips on top if desired). Fill liners between ¾ and almost full. Look at the step-by-step photos above. You will get about 20 muffins. 
  • Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 5 minutes then lower the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake additional 11-13 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean. Don't overbake or your muffins will end up dry. Let cool for about 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. 
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.
