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.
