BANANA BLUEBERRY STREUSEL
MUFFINS
 
1/2 c. butter, softened
1/2 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1 1/2 c. (3 lg.) mashed very ripe bananas
1/4 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
2 c. Pillsbury's Best all purpose or unbleached flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw)

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Grease bottoms only of 18 muffin cups or line with paper baking cups. In large bowl beat 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup brown sugar until fluffy. Add bananas, milk, vanilla and eggs; blend well. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. Add 2 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Gently stir in blueberries. Fill greased muffin cups 3/4 full.

TOPPING:

3 tbsp. flour
2 tbsp. firmly packed brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tbsp. butter
1/4 c. chopped walnuts

In small bowl combine flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. Using pastry blender or fork, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Stir in walnuts. Sprinkle over batter. Bake at 375 degrees for 18 to 23 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 3 minutes; remove from muffin cups. Makes 18 muffins.

Microwave directions: Prepare muffin batter and topping as directed above. Using 6 cup microwave - safe muffin pan, line each cup with 2 paper baking cups to absorb moisture during cooking. Fill lined muffin cups 2/3 full. Sprinkle topping over batter. Microwave 6 muffins on HIGH for 3 to 4 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, rotating pan 1/2 turn halfway through cooking. Remove muffins immediately from pan and immediately discard outer baking cups. Repeat with remaining batter.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.

These are delish & very easy to make! I only had 2 bananas, but they still turned out great. I also added about a 1/4 mini chocolate chips. Yummy!! :)

YUM - These muffins are delicious! I didn't have milk, but I had vanilla Greek yogurt, so I omitted the vanilla and used a little bit less brown sugar.and they came out really great!!

Moist. Great way to use overripe bananas. If I make the muffins again, I will omit the blueberries.

These muffins are so moist, almost cakey, and I like how the struesal topping turns the outside brown because otherwise the blueberries turn the batter a weird color (I used frozen). I baked mine for 18 minutes to get a clear toothpick. I suggest putting a good amount of struesal on top since that's where the cinnamon is and it really warms up the muffin, and next time I'm going 2 put some struesal in the bottom of the cups as well.

These are phenomenal! Moist and delicious with the blueberry flavor exploding on your tongue (you do taste more blueberry than banana). I did not have enough brown sugar for the streusel topping and substituted granulated sugar and it was delicious. I can't wait for my family to try them....That is, if there are any left! I agree with Kendra, I can't stay away from them.

This was great and easy! The second time I made them I only baked for 15 minutes so they weren't quite as brown. I also left out the walnuts, still delicious.
