makes :    15 pcs

Ingredients :

190  gm  all-purpose flour

1  tsp  baking soda

1  tsp  baking powder

1/2  tsp  salt

2  large  bananas  ~  mashed

150  gm  caster sugar

1  egg  ~  lightly beaten  (I use large egg)

75  gm  butter  ~  melted & cooled

50  gm  brown sugar

2  tbsp  all-purpose flour

1/8  tsp  ground cinnamon

1  tbsp  cold butter

Method :

1.  Preheat oven to 180'C.  Line muffin pan with papercups.

2.  In a small bowl, prepare the streusel by mixing together the brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour and cinnamon.  Rub the tablespoon of cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.  Keep in fridge until needed.

3.  Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt into a large mixing bowl.

4.  In another bowl, place mashed bananas, sugar, egg and melted butter.

5.  Pour the banana mixture into the flour mixture and gently stir with a spatula until just moistened.  Do not overmix or you will end up with tough muffins !!!  Spoon batter into prepared papercups up to 90% full.  Sprinkle with the prepared streusels over muffins.

6.  Bake in preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, until a skewer inserted into centre of a muffin comes out clean.

7.  Remove from the muffin pans to cool on wire rack.
