Pumpkin Banana Streusel Muffins
Made with a few simple ingredients, these Pumpkin Banana Streusel Muffins are the perfect way to start the day. They are delicious and bursting with pumpkin flavours, sweet banana, and warm spices. The muffins are sprinkled with a buttery streusel that crisps up beautifully in the oven and ties it all together.

- In a medium sized bowl, add flour, brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Using a fork, mix this until small crumbs form. Then sprinkle 1 tbsp of extra flour on top and with your fork, gently mix until all the flour is well incorporated. Repeat 2 times until you no flour streaks remain. See photo for reference. Set aside while you make the muffin batter.1/4 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup dark brown sugar, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 3/4 cups flour, 6 tbsp butter

- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet and using a spatula, gently fold to create a soft muffin batter.
- Evenly divide the batter between the liners, they should be almost or all the way full. Using a cookie scooper helps big time to minimize the mess. Sprinkle a handful of streusel on top.
- Bake the muffins at 375°F for 25-30 minutes. The muffins are ready when a toothpick inserted comes out clean. My oven took 27 minutes exactly. Every oven differs, so keep an eye out after the 25 minute mark.
- These muffins stay fresh covered at room temperature for a few days, or in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week!
