Banana Streusel Muffins

1 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1/3 cup sugar
2 cups GF flour blend**
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Streusel topping, see below

Heat oven to 375 degrees.  Grease muffin tins or use baking cups.

In a bowl, combine flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt.  Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, mix milk, butter, vanilla, sugar, and egg until well blended.  Add mashed bananas.  Add the flour mixture and mix well.

Spoon batter into the muffin cups.  Spoon some streusel mixture on top of each muffin.  Bake in a 375 degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and muffins are golden.  Remove from pan and enjoy.

Makes 1 dozen muffins.

Streusel Topping

1/4 cup GF flour mixture
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Mix all ingredients with a fork until they are crumbly.  I use a mashing motion to cut the butter and combine it with the dry ingredients.

**The GF flour mixture that I used for this recipe is:

1 cup white rice flour
3/4 cup sweet rice flour
1/2 cup potato starch
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup tapioca flour

Combine the flours well and measure out what you need for your recipe.
