INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 6 very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup spiced rum
  • 1/4 cup cognac
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease two twelve-cup muffin tins.
  2. In a mixing bowl, mix bananas, 1/2 cup brown sugar, honey, rum, and cognac with an electric mixer until smooth.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, cream white sugar, 2/3 cup brown sugar, eggs, and melted butter. Pour banana mixture and creamed egg mixture into the flour, and stir until just combined. Spoon mixture into muffin tins, filling cups 3/4 full.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together 1 cup brown sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, and cinnamon. Cut in 3 tablespoons butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over batter in muffin tins.
  5. Bake muffins in preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until done.
