Ingredients

Muffins

3 Bananas Ripe, Peeled, Mashed
¼ cup Coconut oil Can also use olive oil, corn oil, canola oil or vegetable oil
¼ cup Butter Unsalted, Melted
2 Eggs Large
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
½ cup Granulated sugar
½ cup Brown sugar
¼ cup Buttermilk
2 cups All-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Cinnamon powder
¼ teaspoon Nutmeg powder
1.5 teaspoon Baking powder
½ teaspoon Baking soda

Streusel Crumb Topping

½ cup All-purpose flour
⅓ cup Brown sugar
2 tablespoon Coconut Desiccated
¼ cup Butter Unsalted, Cold, Cut into small cubes

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, add bananas, coconut oil, butter, eggs, vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Mix in granulated sugar and brown sugar.
Add buttermilk and mix until smooth.
In another mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon powder, nutmeg powder, baking powder, baking soda.
Dump this dry mixture into the wet mixture and mix until just combined. DON'T OVER-MIX!
Pour batter in greased and floured cupcake pans. You can also line the pan with cupcake liners. Keep aside.
Make the streusel topping: Whisk together together flour, brown sugar, coconut in a mixing bowl. Then, add butter and use a fork or pastry cutter to mix everything together until you have coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle this streusel topping over each muffin.
Bake at 425 degrees F for 8 minutes. Then, lower the temperature to 350 degrees and bake for another 8 minutes or until an inserted toothpick in the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool down before removing them from the pan. If you did not use liners, you may have to run a butter knife around each muffin to loosen them for easy removal. Enjoy!
