- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 3 medium bananas overripe
- ½ cup sourdough starter active starter or discard

For the Streusel Topping
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ¼ cup brown sugar packed
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons rolled oats
Make the Streusel Topping
Melt the butter for the streusel topping over low heat in a small saucepan.
Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon and salt.
Stir in the flour and oats. The mixture should come together and form some small clumps. Remove from heat.
Make the Muffin Batter
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and brown sugar on medium speed.
To the stand mixer, add the bananas and mix until they are mashed and well incorporated.
Add the sourdough starter, egg and vanilla and continue to mix until fully combined.
With the stand mixer set to low speed, slowly add the flour mixture. Mix until almost fully combined.
Turn off the stand mixer and stir in the pecans or chocolate chips by hand with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula.
Divide the batter across the prepared muffin liners. Top the muffins with streusel topping.
Bake in preheated oven for 23-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
