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
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a muffin pan with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, garam masala, and salt.
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.
Spoon the muffin batter into the muffin tins, filling them about three quarters full.
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.
Top each muffin with a few teaspoons of the crumble topping.
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.
