INGREDIENTS
Streusel Topping:
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup (1/2 stick or 4 Tablespoons) cold butter, cut into 1/2-inch square chunks
.
Batter:
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
2 cups mashed ripe bananas
1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple, thoroughly drained
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease loaf pan(s) and/or muffin tins (or line with muffin papers).
Streusel Topping:
- Place sugar, flour, cinnamon, and cold butter in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Do not over-process. (You may also do this by hand using a pastry cutter.) Set aside.
Batter:
- Combine flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Stir in pecans or walnuts. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine mashed bananas, drained crushed pineapple, beaten eggs, oil, and vanilla extract. Add to flour mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon just until dry ingredients are moistened. Do not overstir!
- At this point, I use the batter for not only muffins, but also a medium-sized loaf. You can use it as you wish, of course. Spoon batter into a greased and floured loaf pan. Sprinkle 1/2 of streusel mixture over the top of the loaf. Bake at 350 degrees F. for about 1 hour or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then remove from pan and let cool on wire rack.
- Increase oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Use remaining batter for your favorite-sized muffins, filling paper-lined muffin tins a little more than half full. Sprinkle tops with remaining streusel mixture. Bake about 25 to 30 minutes for regular muffins, and about 15 to 18 minutes for mini-muffins. Let cool for 10 minutes, then remove and finish cooling on wire racks.
