Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375ºF, and spray a 12-cup muffin pan with baking spray.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine mashed banana, water, melted butter, and buttermilk until well incorporated.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, and baking powder with a wire whisk. Add dry ingredients to banana mixture, and mix well. Stir in mini chocolate chips, and divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups.

For streusel: Mix together 1/2 cup flour, 6 tablespoons of brown sugar, 3 tablespoons of butter and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over muffin batter.

Bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown and cake tester comes out clean.
