Banana chocolate chip muffins spiced with garam masala
Ingredients
  • 2 cups cake flour
  • 1¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 bananas, mashed but with some small chunks
  • ½ cup butter (1 stick), melted
  • ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup chocolate chips
  • For the crumble topping:
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup butter (1 stick), cold, cut into small cubes
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a muffin pan with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, garam masala, and salt.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together bananas, melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Add wet mixture to dry mixture and whisk just a few times. A few small lumps of the dry ingredients are fine. Add chocolate chips and stir just a couple times to distribute.
  4. Spoon the muffin batter into the muffin tins, filling them about three quarters full.
  5. In a small bowl, make the crumble topping by stirring together the flour and brown sugar with a fork. Add the butter cubes and use your fingers to squeeze the butter into smaller pieces. When the mixture looks crumbly with uneven pebble-like pieces, it's perfect.
  6. Top each muffin with a few teaspoons of the crumble topping.
  7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean (except for melted chocolate). Cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes. Remove muffins from pan and cool completely.
