In my quest to become a better baker, I have decided I have to challenge myself. The Bouchon bakery book seems like a pretty good place to start! The book itself is a work of art and if all it did was sit on the coffee table looking pretty, it would more than be worth its price tag! However sit and look pretty is not what I intend for this tome! I have made the Pecan Sandies and they were amazing. As today is the last day of Winter Break for my two children, I thought a nice Brunch was in order. I knew Alex would like poached eggs and maybe some bacon, but I thought Banana Streusel Muffins would be a nice warm touch.
I am not going to lie. These are a little time consuming as each ingredient needs to be measured. This is not really taxing but it is a departure from the 1 cup style of measuring I am used to! Last night I made the batter and streusel topping and then this morning it was simply a case of scooping into the muffin cups, topping with a little streusel and then baking for about 30 minutes! Heaven should smell like my house while they were in the oven!
These muffins were a hit in the household and my son tried to eat three! They are moist and light and the streusel topping adds such a nice crunch to the mix. I highly recommend the recipe and the book in general. Muffin heaven is within the pages!
