Looking through my blog archives, my love for Biscoff spread is quite apparent. Like, in these cookies, granola bars, more cookies, and ice cream! I`ve been addicted since I bought my first jar and have never looked back! :)
I always say blueberry muffins are my favorite. I also always say that these double blueberry streusel muffins made with brown butter is my all-time favorite blueberry muffins. Then, I started baking banana muffins and realized I love them, too. They never came even close to touch my blueberry muffins though. Then, one day I came up with an idea to make banana Biscoff muffins.
It took awhile for me to actually test the recipe, but after one bite of these babies, I mentally kicked myself for not trying earlier. They were awesome. Even though, I still highly favor blueberry muffins over banana muffins, these muffins came really close!
To make them even more Biscoff-y, I crushed some speculoos (aka Biscoff) cookies on top of the muffins. I didn`t actually have Biscoff cookies, but I had the Trader Joe's speculoos cookies and used them instead. If you can`t find Biscoff spread, Trader Joe's has their own version of this cookie butter. And, it comes in crunchy and creamy, just like the Lotus' brand.
I brought some in for my co-workers and they all loved them! Which, of course, means this recipe is a winner!! I usually have bananas laying around, so if you do too, definitely try making these muffins. You won`t regret it. Plus, you and your family definitely deserve a wonderful treat for breakfast!

-
You can definitely freeze muffins once they are completely cooled.
Double wrap them in plastic wrap and freeze individually. Two options to
reheat: 1) bake again at 300°F for about 15 minutes, or until center is warm
(if you defrost muffins in fridge the night before, muffins will warm up
faster) or 2) microwave for 20-30 seconds.
