Warm and chocolatey banana muffins with a salty, buttery topping.
3/4 cup butter | Divided
3 large bananas or 4 small, very ripe
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cups sugar
1 3/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk chocolate chips
|| Streusel ||
1/4 cup browned butter from reserve
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
pinch of salt
Over medium heat, melt and brown the butter. Let cool on the counter for about ten minutes. Set aside 1/4 cup of the browned butter for streusel.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin tin and spray the cups with cooking oil.
In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add in ½ cup of the browned butter, bananas, egg, sugar and vanilla. Beat until combined but with chunks of banana still visible. Add in the flour, baking soda and salt. Mix until incorporated, about 30 seconds. Remove bowl from stand mixer and fold in the chocolate chips.
Using a 3-tablespoon scoop, fill the muffin cups until about ¾ full.
In a small bowl, mix the streusel ingredients together and sprinkle evenly on top of muffins.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-24 minutes.
Keeps for up to 3 days.
