Banana Bread Streusel Muffins

So, my husband and I have been trying for several months to eat clean and make sure we have healthy(ish) meals every day for our family. This often involves lots of meal prep. Last night, i wanted to make breakfast ahead of time, so I could help out in beating the morning rush out the door with three kids.

These muffins were super-duper easy to bake, even with two of my three kids home. MOM WIN!


First of all, you will need to gather your ingredients:

Muffins:
2 Cups of Flour ( I use Wheat Montana, whole wheat white flour)
1 Cup of Sugar
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Baking  Soda
1/4 tsp Cinnamon
2 eggs
1 Cup Sour Cream
1/4 cup of butter, melted
2 medium bananas mashed
1/2 Cup of Chopped Pecans


Streusel:
1/2 Cup of Brown Sugar
3 Tbsp flour
1/4 tsp Cinnamon
4 tbsp butter, softened

Instructions:

You'll begin by pre-heating  your oven to 375.

To begin these yummy banana muffins, combine the first six ingredients in the muffins list,  2 C Flour, 1 C Sugar, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 baking soda, 1/4 tsp cinnamon.

In a separate bowl, combine eggs, sour cream, mashed bananas and the melted butter. 

Once they are mixed thoroughly, add them to your dry ingredients.  I just poured a little of my dry ingredients at a time into my egg mixture until it was all combined and there were no dry ingredients visible.

Add in the chopped pecans/ or your nut of choice.  Baker Note:(I added mine in after they were in muffin cups.. hazard of having those 3 kids running around the house, they relocate pecans to random places in the pantry. :) )

Fill muffin cups 3/4 of the way full.

After that is done, mix up your streusel topping.  In a small bowl, mix your brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and then cut in the butter until your mixture is crumbly.

Baker note: (In the photos, my butter had been on the counter too long and melted too much.. therefore doesn't look too crumby. rest assured, it's delicious.)  Sprinkle mixture over each muffin evenly.  Then, pop these scrumptious smelling beauties in the oven for  20-25 minutes!

Let them cool for a bit, and then you can taste test as many as you'd like.

Happy Baking Everyone!!
