How to Make Banana Coffee Cake Muffins

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.

Step 2: Make the Streusel Topping
In a small bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Cut in cold butter with a fork until mixture forms coarse crumbs.
Set aside.

Step 3: Mix Muffin Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together mashed bananas, brown sugar, granulated sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla.
Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Stir until just combined — don’t overmix.

Step 4: Fill Muffin Cups
Divide batter evenly into muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
Top with a generous sprinkle of streusel topping.

Step 5: Bake
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Step 6: Add Glaze (Optional)
Once muffins are cool, drizzle with powdered sugar glaze if desired.
