The best banana muffin recipe

Ingredients:
3 ripe bananas
1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
1/4 cup butter (melted and cooled at least 5 min)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 Tblsp vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup buttermilk (can put some vinegar in reg milk to make buttermilk)

Streusel (optional) I always use streusel on mine
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup butter, cold

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 425 and line muffin tin with paper liners (I just spray vegetable oil on my pan in the cups, I dont use liners)
Place peeled bananas in a large bowl and use a fork or potato masher to mash them - bananas should be well mashed.
Add oil and melted butter, and stir well
Stir in sugars until well combined
Add eggs and vanilla extract and buttermilk and stir well. Set aside.

In separate bowl, whisk together your dry ingredients - flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt
Add dry ingredients to your wet batter and gently fold in until ingredients are just combined (don't overmix the batter)
Portion batter into prepared muffin tin, filling each liner 3/4 of the way full.  Set aside and prepare your streusel topping

STREUSEL TOPPING:
combing flour, brown sugar, and salt in a medium sized bowl and use a fork to stir the ingredients together
Using a pastry cutter cut in your cold butter until the butter is well worked in and your mixture resembles coarse crumbs (I like to use room softened butter and use my hands to just mix it all into pea size pieces)
Sprinkle streusel topping evenly over each muffin

Bake muffins at 425 for 8 minutes then reduce the oven temp to 350 (DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN DOOR OR REMOVE THE MUFFINS, JUST LEAVE THEM IN AND REDUCE the TEMP) and bake another 7 to 8 min on 350
test with inserted toothpick.
Allow muffins to cool before eating

(I have been making these as mini muffins so I just did 5 min at 425 and then 3 1/2 to 4 on 350 until tested done)

these are so yummy!
