Banana Muffins with Streusel and Icing

Use overripe bananas to make delicious muffins with a brown sugar streusel and vanilla icing on top for an easy sweet breakfast.

I heard these are amazing and delicious, but I didn’t even get to try one. A few weeks ago, all the women in my family took a girl’s trip to San Antonio. While we were gone, Justin made some banana muffins for the boys, and they were a hit!

The muffins were such a hit there weren’t any left by the time we got home. Sweet breakfast foods go fast in our house. Especially when they contain bananas. We go through so many bananas in our house.

Because I didn’t get to try the banana muffins, we made them again. Now I can tell you that they are as delicious as the boys claim!

As with most recipes that contain bananas, it’s better if you use ones that are overripe and turning brown. When I take the boys to the grocery store, they often ask to buy two bunches of bananas, one to eat with breakfast, and one to let over-ripen to make banana bread or another banana recipe such as these muffins.

Banana Muffins Step by Step

Ingredients

Muffins

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 bananas (mashed)
• 1/3 cup applesauce

Streusel

• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/8 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/8 tsp cinnamon
• 1 1/2 tbsp butter (softened)

Vanilla Icing

• 3/4 cups powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp milk

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375F and line a muffin pan. We like to use our silicone liners to prevent the waste of single-use liners. Or, you can grease the muffin cups and use them without a liner.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

In another mixing bowl, combine the egg, brown sugar, vanilla extract, mashed bananas, and applesauce.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until fully combined, without mixing more than necessary.

Use a cookie scoop or a spoon to fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.

In a small mixing bowl, prepare the streusel by combining the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Use a pastry blender to cut in the butter.

Sprinkle the streusel over the muffins then bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.

Meanwhile, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the icing.

Once the muffins have cooked and cooled slightly, drizzle with the vanilla icing.
