I think most of you know banana bread in a different shape – more like a bread (who would have guessed) :P But not today. It’s time to try a smaller version – with streusel topping and walnuts. Sounds good, right?
These little fellas are really delicious. Not as dense as a regular banana bread – even though there are two bananas in there. These banana bread muffins are light and fluffy, bananay-walnutty :) Perfect if you want something simple for your party or as a snack when you are traveling. If you bake them in muffin paper liners, they basically bring their own wrapping ;) Well almost – I still recommend a bag or box ;)
It is important to use very ripe bananas – that is a good tip for every banana bread. They should be almost black when you use them ;) That’s the point where they have the best flavors. I know, they do not look very appealing in a fruit basket, but they are 100 times better that “fresh” yellow bananas – sweeter and more banana flavor! But if they leak already and are surrounded by fruit flies, I would throw them – in that case you waited a bit too long :P
Anyways – if you do not like walnuts, you can use pecans or any other nuts (peanuts can be very nice too) – or if you are allergic, just skip them completely – that is also fine. So now get some nice bananas and start baking!

1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 eggs
1 cup (230g) sour cream
1/4 cup (60g) butter, melted
2 medium ripe bananas, mashed ( about 1 cup)
1/2 cup (60g) walnuts, chopped
Für die Streusel:
100g brauner Zucker
3 EL Mehl (Type 405)
1/2 TL Zimt
60g weiche Butter
Für den Teig:
260g Mehl (Type 405)
200g Zucker
1 TL Backpulver
1/2 TL Natron
1/2 TL Salz
1/2 TL Zimt
2 Eier
230g Schmand
60g Butter, geschmolzen
2 mittelgroße reife Bananen, zerdrückt
60g Walnüsse, gehackt
DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
2. For the streusel add the brown sugar, flour and cinnamon to a bowl and mix. Add the butter and mix with a fork or your fingers until streusel form. Set aside.
3. In a bowl mix flour with sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Set aside. In a large bowl mix eggs with sour cream, melted butter and the mashed bananas until well combined. Add the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Add the chopped walnuts and fold in. Fill the muffin cups/paper liners (about 2/3 full). Sprinkle with streusel and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Take out of the oven and let cool down in the muffin tins for some time, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool down completely.
2. Für die Streusel den braunen Zucker mit Mehl und Zimt vermischen. Die Butter zugeben und alles mit einer Gabel (oder einfach mit den Fingern) zu Streuseln verarbeiten. Zur Seite stellen.
3. In einer Schüssel das Mehl mit Zucker, Backpulver, Natron, Salz und Zimt vermischen. Zur Seite stellen. In einer großen Schüssel die Eier mit Schmand, geschmolzener Butter und den zerquetschten Bananen verrühren. Die Mehlmischung zugeben und nur kurz unterrühren. Die gehackten Walnüsse unterheben. Den Teig auf die Förmchen aufteilen (jeweils etwa 2/3 füllen) und mit Streuseln bedecken. Die Muffins etwa 20-25 Minuten backen – mit einem Zahnstocher testen, ob noch Teig kleben bleibt und erst herausnehmen, wenn der Zahnstocher sauber herauskommt. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und erst etwas in der Form abkühlen lassen, dann herausnehmen und auf einem Kuchengitter komplett auskühlen lassen.
