Banana muffins

Last week I decided to master Banana Muffins... Here in Sweden they don't really know what a good muffin is. So I was on a mission to show them what a REAL muffin is. When I say muffin I am talking about a Big muffin with an even Bigger top, broke in two with butter melting on both pieces! SO good! I had 2 recipes I wanted to try and I still cant decided which I liked more, Rikard preferred the first recipe. 

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 bananas, mashed
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/3 cup butter, melted
• 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon butter

Directions

1.     Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease 10 muffin cups, or line with muffin papers.

2.     In a large bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, beat together bananas, sugar, egg and melted butter. Stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture just until moistened. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.

3.     In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour and cinnamon. Cut in 1 tablespoon butter until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Sprinkle topping over muffins.

Bake in preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean


This next one makes like 3 pans of muffins... They have a more cake like consistency.

Ingredients

• 2 sticks Butter
• 1-½ cup + 2 TBLS Sugar
• 3 whole Eggs
• 1-½ cup Mashed Ripe Bananas
• 4 cups + 2 TBLS Flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1-½ teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1-½ cup Sour Cream

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Grease muffin pan.

Cream butter and sugar together. Add eggs one at a time, beating for a few seconds after each addition. Add mashed bananas and beat.

Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl.

Add dry ingredients and sour cream alternately to the mixing bowl. Beat well until all combined.

Pour into muffin pan and bake for 45 minutes to an hour or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Invert on a cooling rack and allow cake to cool slightly before slicing and serving with softened butter.

I also put the brown sugar crumbs on top of these and it made them delicious!

So, let me know which one you think is better! Good luck
