# What You'll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 teaspoon baking soda
03 - ½ teaspoon salt
04 - 4 ripe bananas, mashed
05 - ¾ cup granulated sugar
06 - 1 large egg, lightly beaten
07 - ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
08 - 1 cup chocolate chips

→ For the Streusel Topping

09 - ⅓ cup packed brown sugar
10 - 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
11 - ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
12 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

# Let's Cook!:

01 - Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with butter.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
03 - In another bowl, mix the mashed bananas, sugar, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
04 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
05 - In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
06 - Fill the prepared muffin cups ¾ full with the batter. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over each muffin.
07 - Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
08 - Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

# Cook's Notes:

01 - For uniform muffins, use an ice cream scoop to fill the muffin cups.
02 - For a moister muffin, add an extra banana to the batter.
03 - Lightly toast the streusel topping on a baking sheet in the oven for a few minutes before adding to the muffins for extra crunch.
