A flavorful, moist, soft banana chocolate chip muffin recipe.

Recipe Summary Moist Banana Streusel Muffins

These moist muffins were created in my kitchen while trying to bake with whole wheat flour, which has more fiber than all-purpose flour.

Ingredients | Moist Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

cooking spray

1 ½ cups sifted whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

3 ripe bananas, mashed

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

1 large egg

¾ cup white sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ cup packed dark brown sugar

2 tablespoons whole wheat flour

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray 10 muffin cups with cooking spray.

Whisk 1 1/2 cups sifted whole wheat flour with baking soda, baking powder, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a large bowl. Mix together mashed bananas, 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter, egg, white sugar, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl. Gently fold banana mixture into dry ingredients just until moistened; do not overmix. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 full.

Mix dark brown sugar with 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a bowl, stirring until combined; mash 1 tablespoon unsalted butter into the mixture with a fork until streusel topping resembles crumbs. Sprinkle topping over muffins.

Bake muffins in the preheated oven until a toothpick comes out clean or with moist crumbs, about 20 minutes.

Sifting the whole wheat flour adds air and allows the wheat flour to become lighter, so that the muffins are less dense.
