Banana chocolate chunk muffins with cinnamon crumble - these are the perfect wake-up call in the morning! They are rich, chocolatey and make for a great breakfast treat.
Yield: 16 muffins
Ingredients
For the cinnamon crumble
  • 1⅔ cup (210 g) all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1½ cups (360 g) dark brown sugar
  • ½ cup (110 g) unsalted butter, cold and cut into 1-inch cubes
For the muffins
  • 1⅔ cups (210 g) all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup + 2½ tbsp (230 g) sugar
  • 6 tbsp + 1 tsp (100 mL) canola oil
  • 2 tbsp (30 g) sour cream
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 or 4 (340 g) ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2¾ oz (80 g) dark chocolate, chopped
Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 350F.
  2. To make the crumble, combine the flour, cinnamon, brown sugar, and butter in a large bowl. Use your fingers to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the butter is incorporated and the mixture is moistened and starts to form crumbles. Set aside.
  3. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Set aside.
  4. For the muffins, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Set aside.
  5. Combine the eggs and the sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Mix on high speed until pale and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. With the mixer still running on high speed, drizzle in the oil. Once completely combined, reduce the speed to low and add in the sour cream and vanilla. Add in the flour mixture and mix on low until just incorporated.
  7. Add in the mashed bananas and fold in by hand until just incorporated. Do the same with the chocolate chunks.
  8. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups until they are ⅔ full and top with 1-2 tbsp of streusel.
  9. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Allow to cool completely before serving.
