Another day, another leftover banana. Or two. Or three.
So I made these muffins.
The coconut shreds gave the streusel an even crispier texture than usual and was a really satisfying contrast to the soft cake part.
Remember these for Purim mishloach manot.
Banana Coconut Streusel Muffins
Streusel:
1/3 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons shredded coconut
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1-1/2 tablespoons solid coconut oil (or butter, shortening or margarine)
Make the streusel: mix the brown sugar, flour, coconut and cinnamon in a small bowl. Add the coconut oil and work it in with fingers or a knife until mixture is crumbly. Set aside.
Muffins:
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3 bananas, mashed
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease 10 muffin cups. Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon together in a bowl. In another bowl mix the bananas, vegetable oil, sugar, egg and vanilla extract until well blended. Spoon the banana mixture into the flour mixture and stir until just until combined. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups. Top with the streusel mixture evenly over each muffin. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into center of muffin comes out clean.
