Browned Butter Banana Muffins

by

Browned Butter Banana Muffins have such and incredible flavor thanks to the browned butter. You will want to make these again and again.

 Remember my new love for browned butter? I used it for the first time in these Browned Butter Blondies and immediately fell in love. I decided to try it in banana muffins this time around and I still love the stuff! I could eat the brown bits with a spoon. For real. There is just a subtle flavor of the browned butter in these muffins. But it gives the muffins a richer flavor. I also used coconut sugar. It’s such an amazing product! It’s my new crush. Plus you can find it in many grocery stores. It can be used straight across as a sub for white and/or brown sugar. I also added a streusel topping but you can leave that off if you want. I don’t know why you would want to but that’s your prerogative.
