Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/8 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter cold, diced small
  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 6 oz fresh blackberries dried well and halved
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 small to medium overripe bananas
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste

Instructions
 

  • 1. In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tbsp sugar, and 1/8 tsp kosher salt. Add 1/4 cup cold, diced butter and use your fingers to pinch and rub until the mixture forms pea-sized clumps. Refrigerate streusel topping.
  • 2. Preheat oven to 425°F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners.
  • 3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups flour, 1 cup sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1/2 tsp kosher salt. Add blackberries and toss gently to coat.
  • 4. In a separate bowl, microwave 1/4 cup butter until melted. Add bananas and mash well. Whisk in oil, Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla bean paste until smooth.
  • 5. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Gently fold together with a spatula until just combined and no flour streaks remain; batter will be thick and lumpy.
  • 6. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling to the top.
  • 7. Sprinkle chilled streusel generously over each muffin.
  • 8. Bake at 425°F for 7 minutes. Lower temperature to 350°F (do not open oven) and bake for 13 more minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • 9. Cool muffins in the tin for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
