Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • ½ cup butter, melted

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 ½ cups mashed bananas

  • 1 cup dried cranberries

  • ½ cup chopped walnuts

Streusel-Nut Topping:

  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons butter, cut into 1/4-inch cubes

  • cup chopped walnuts

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 16 muffin cups with paper liners.

  2. Combine 2 cups flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl.

  3. Combine white sugar, melted butter, and eggs in another bowl; whisk until smooth. Mix in bananas, cranberries, and 1/2 cup walnuts. Fold in flour mixture and mix until a lumpy batter forms.

  4. Spoon batter into lined cups, filling each 3/4 full.

  5. Mix brown sugar and 3 tablespoons flour in a small bowl. Cut in cubed butter with a pastry cutter or two knives until pea-sized crumbles form. Mix in 1/3 cup walnuts.

  6. Sprinkle walnut crumble over batter.

  7. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes.

Cook's Notes:

I prefer using butter for this recipe, but you can use oil or margarine.

Pecans can be substituted for walnuts.

Raisins or currants can be substituted for cranberries.
