Banana Choco Streusel Muffins

Today I made Banana Choco Streusel Muffins, something I came up with myself. I just took a basic banana muffin recipe and mixed up a chocolate streusel to put in the middle and on the top. They turned out fabulous. They are soft, and sweet, and chock full of yummy banana. I love them. I hope you will too!

Banana Choco Streusel Muffins
1/2 cup granulated (white) sugar
2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups mashed overripe banana (about three medium)
1 large egg
1/3 cup butter or hard margarine, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk

Preheat oven to 375◦F. Line twelve muffin cups with paper liners (or grease them).

In a small bowl combine the sugar, cocoa, and cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.

In a large bowl, stir the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. Add the remaining ingredients in order. Stir until just moistened.

Using half of the batter, fill each muffin cup half full. Sprinkle a heaping teaspoon of the streusel mixture over the batter in each cup. Repeat layers. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
