Choco Chip Banana Muffins with Coconut Streusel

All I'm gonna say is that these sweet muffins are to DIE for! I hope you can handle them. :)


Choco Chip Banana Muffins with Coconut Streusel
Streusel
1/4 cup flour
1 tablespoon sugar
3 to 4 tablespoons coconut, chopped
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons cold butter

1 3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 ripe bananas, mashed
3/4 cup chocolate chips

Mix together the streusel ingredients using a fork or pastry blender and set aside.

To make the muffins, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and soda, and the salt. Add the egg, oil, sour cream, and vanilla. Fold in the bananas and chocolate chips. Spoon into muffin cups and top with a spoonful of the streusel mix. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool for about 5 minutes in pan and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

TIP: Use milk or semisweet chips, though these are really sweet, so I suggest going semi. Also, if you want a little more uuuumph to your streusel, add a tablespoon of chopped pecans or walnuts!
