1 large egg
1 ripe banana (mashed with a fork)
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of baking soda

Instructions

Prep the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the room-temperature butter and self-rising flour using a blending fork until the mixture is crumbly.
Dry & Wet Mix: Add the pinch of baking soda and stir. Then, incorporate the brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, mashed banana, and buttermilk.
Combine: Mix with a spoon until just combined. Fold in your pecans if using.
Fill: Spoon the batter into greased muffin tins, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Topping: Sprinkle the tops with Master Cookbook Recipe # 151 Streusel (a mix of flour, brown sugar, butter, and pecans) for that extra crunch and sweetness.
Bake: Place in a preheated oven at 375°F. Bake until the muffins are golden brown and set. Start checking them at the 30-minute mark. (You can also air fry a single "skillet muffin" for about 10 minutes!)
