I was going to make some berry muffins with streusel topping, but had some bananas I was going to make into banana bread.v So I mashed the two ideas and since when making muffins, it’s go big or go home, I made jumbo banana walnut muffins. The recipe I found on Sally’s Baking Addiction makes 10-12 muffins, I got 6.
Apparently, my streusel recipe makes a ton, so feel free to cut it in half or pop the remainder into the freezer or use to top a rhubarb cream pie!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, spoon & leveled 188g
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3 large ripe bananas about 1 and 1/2 cups mashed
- 6 Tablespoons 85g unsalted butter, melted
- 2/3 cup 135g packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 Tablespoons 30ml milk
- 1 cup walnut pieces or pecans
Streusel Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- pinch salt
- 8 tablespoons cold butter cut into small cubes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- In a large bowl mix the streusel ingredients, using your fingers or a pastry cutter to crumb the mixture. Set aside.
- Spray a 6-count jumbo muffin pan with nonstick spray or use cupcake liners.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas.
- On medium speed, beat or whisk in the melted butter, brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and milk.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, then beat or whisk until combined.
- Fold in the nuts.
- Add 3/4 cup of the batter into each liner.
- Top with a generous amount of streusel.
- Bake for 5 minutes at 425 then, keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F.
- Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
JUMBO BANANA WALNUT MUFFINS
Recipe is great, although the headline says Banana Walnut Muffins and the ingredients list pecans.
Thank you for the catch! I’ll fix that right away. 🙂
My family lives the so much I had to make a second batch so my grown children could take some home. Would definitely recommend!
I’m so glad you liked them! 🙂
