007: banana streusel muffins

basically, i love muffins, and i had some overripe bananas, so what did i decide to do? make banana muffins out of them :o) prep time was about half an hour, and bake time is about 25 minutes.




equipment:
medium and large bowls
measuring cups and spoons
muffin tin


ingredients:
2 c. flour
1 c. sugar
1 t. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. baking soda
2 t. cinnamon
2 eggs
1/2 c. sour cream
1/4 c. plain yogurt
1/4 c. applesauce
1/4 c. melted margarine
2 mashed bananas (about 1 and 1/2 c.)
1/4 c. sugar
1/2 t. cinnamon
2 T. margarine


steps:
1.) combine all dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon) in a large mixing bowl.

2.) in separate (medium sized) bowl, mash bananas, then add other wet ingredients (beaten eggs, sour cream, yogurt, applesauce, and melted margarine).

3.) add wet ingredients to dry, and fill into greased muffin tin(s) about 3/4 full. yield will be somewhere between 12 and 18 muffins, depending on the size of the bananas.

4.) make streusel topping by creaming together 1/4 c. sugar, 1/2 t. cinnamon, and 2 T. margarine. sprinkle over top of the muffins.

5.) bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.


time: 30 minutes prep time, 25 minutes bake time
difficulty: 2 (1 being easiest, 5 being hardest)
rating: ♦♦♦♦1/2◊ (4.5 out of 5 stars)
suggestions for variation: mine came out pretty sticky. not sure how this can be avoided, but i would NOT recommend using paper liners. simply grease the bottom of the muffin tin.
