  • 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Banana Nut Muffins

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour 7½oz/213g
  • ½ cup whole wheat flour 2½oz/71g
  • ⅔ cup dark brown sugar 4 oz/115g
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ¼ cup chopped walnuts 1¼oz/25g

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  • Streusel Topping: In a small bowl, prepare the streusel topping: with your fingers, mix all the streusel ingredients together until well combined. Set aside.
  • Banana Nut Muffin Batter: In a second bowl, whisk your dry ingredients together: all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
  • In a third bowl, combine the wet ingredients: mash the banana with a fork, then add the milk, oil, vanilla and egg.
  • Combine the wet and dry ingredients until mixed, a few lumps are ok. Fold in the chopped walnuts.
  • Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups until full and then sprinkle with the streusel topping.
  • Bake on an upper middle rack in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from the tin.
  • These muffins can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to three days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 2 months. Defrost in a warm oven (300°F/150°C) or just pop in the microwave.
