I am snuggled in bed, with my feet and legs hiding under a fleece blanket as I type this. It is cold once again and like every year, I feel like November is the month where I finally accept that the cold weather is finally settling in.

Then I spend my days making cozy stuff like bread, hot chocolate and banana bread cupcakes.

You guys, these banana bread cupcakes! They are moist and tender and thanks to the buttery streusel, they have wonderful textures on top.

Inside, you bite into melty chocolate chips, along with the most delicate crumbs. This is one of those baked goods that makes me want to cry at first bite. Seriously good!

How to Make Banana Bread Cupcakes?

  1. Cream softened butter and brown sugar using a paddle attachment of an electric mixer. Beat in the egg, followed by the mashed bananas and the vanilla.
  2. Add the flour mixture ( flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt) to the bowl, alternately with the buttermilk. Mix just until combined. Fold in some chocolate chips.
  3. Spoon the mixture into a muffin pan that is lined with paper cups, 2/3 full. Sprinkle the streusel topping on top. Bake the banana bread cupcakes at 350 F for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted at the center of the cakes come out clean. A photo collage showing how to mix the banana bread batter.

The Streusel Topping

The streusel topping is made of whole wheat flour, brown sugar, walnuts, and butter. Combine everything in a medium bowl and simply rub in the butter with your fingers into the rest of the ingredients (or cut the butter using a pastry blender).

This streusel topping is everything. The nuts, the sweetness and the buttery taste- it makes the banana bread extra special.

If you desire, you can also add half a teaspoon of cinnamon into the streusel mixture.
