Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1.5 cups Mashed ripe bananas
• 0.5 cups Butter, melted and cooled
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Chopped almonds
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar (for streusel)
• 0.25 cups All-purpose flour (for streusel)
• 2 tablespoons Butter, cold and cubed (for streusel)
• 0.25 cups Sliced almonds (for streusel)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the mashed bananas, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the chopped almonds for added crunch and flavor.

Step 6

To prepare the almond streusel topping, combine the brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and cold cubed butter in a small bowl. Use a fork or pastry blender to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the sliced almonds.

Step 7

Divide the muffin batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 8

Sprinkle the almond streusel topping generously over each muffin.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
