Brown Butter Banana Muffins Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper muffin liners.
• Peel the bananas and add to a large bowl. Add the agave syrup and mash the bananas with a fork until very liquefied but still a little lumpy.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan or skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the milk solids have turned a nutty golden brown.
• To the brown butter, add about 1 cup of the mashed banana mixture and whisk to combine. Cook for a few more minutes until a darker golden color is achieved. Add to the remaining mashed banana mixture and whisk to combine, then whisk in the egg. Fold in the flour, in 2 batches, with a rubber spatula, until just combined; do not over mix. With an ice cream scoop, evenly divide the batter among the muffin tin cups.
• Bake in the center of the oven until golden brown and the tops spring back when pressed, about 25 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer the muffins to a rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat muffin pans with non-stick spray, or use paper liners. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
• Combine bananas, sugar, egg, and melted butter in a large bowl. Fold in flour mixture, and mix until smooth. Scoop into muffin pans.
• Bake in preheated oven. Bake mini muffins for 10 to 15 minutes, and large muffins for 25 to 30 minutes. Muffins will spring back when lightly tapped.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix 1/2 cup (100 g) dark brown sugar, 1/4 cup (31 g) unbleached all-purpose flour, and a pinch kosher salt to combine. Add 2 Tbsp. rolled oats and 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, at room temperature and cut them in with a fork or your fingers until the mixture begins to clump together. When pressed, the streusel should clump together in your fist but crumble into nice lumps. Mix a bit longer, if needed. Transfer to a small container and refrigerate until ready to use. Do ahead: Streusel can be made up to 1 month ahead and frozen in an airtight container, or up to 2 weeks ahead and refrigerated in an airtight container.
• Preheat oven to 350º. Line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Lightly coat flat top of muffin pan with neutral oil to prevent sticking.
• Heat ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring often, until it foams, then browns, 5-8 minutes. Scrape into a large bowl and immediately whisk in ½ cup (100 g) dark brown sugar to combine. Cool to room temperature.
• Whisk together 2¼ cups (281 g) unbleached all-purpose flour, 2 tsp. baking powder, 1 tsp. baking soda, 1 tsp. ground cinnamon, ½ tsp. kosher salt, and ¼ tsp. freshly grated nutmeg in a medium bowl.
• Add 2 large eggs to the brown butter mixture and whisk until smooth. Whisk in 1 cup mashed ripe banana (from about 2 large or 3 small), ¾ cup plain whole-milk yogurt (not Greek), and 1 tsp. vanilla extract.
• Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients until halfway combined. Add 1 ripe banana, coarsely chopped and ½ cup (64 g) toasted walnuts, coarsely chopped, if using, and mix until just combined and no flour streaks remain.
• Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling them to the brim. Top each with 1 tablespoon (heaping) streusel and lightly press with your hands to adhere. (You may have excess streusel.)
• Bake muffins, rotating pan after 15 minutes, until the top springs back to the touch or a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 25-30 minutes. Let sit in pan until cool enough to handle, about 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Muffins are best the day they are made and even better if they are still warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a muffin tin.
• Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg together in a small bowl.
• Mash bananas in a large bowl. Mix in white sugar, melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Fold in flour mixture until just combined. Fold walnuts into the batter.
• Divide batter evenly among the muffin cups.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
