Line muffin pan with muffin liners or use a baking paper hack by cutting 5 by 5 inches pieces and shaping them with a glass.

Peel 3 overripe bananas and transfer them to a mixing bowl.

Mash the bananas using a fork until completely mashed.

Crack and add 2 eggs to the mashed bananas and mix until fully incorporated.

Add 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup white sugar to the mixture and mix well until the sugar dissolves.

Pour in 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon coffee essence, scraping any remaining essence if needed. Mix until fully combined.

Using a fine mesh sieve, sift together 1 1/2 cup cake flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 1/4 teaspoon salt into the mixture. Mix and stir until the batter is smooth.

Scoop 2 scoops of batter into the prepared muffin liners and set aside.

To make streusels, combine 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/3 cup brown sugar, 3 tablespoons oats, and 40 grams butter. Knead by hand until a rough dough forms.

Place small bits of streusels on top of the muffin batter.

Bake in a preheated oven at 160°C (320°F) for 20 to 25 minutes.

Cool down the muffins, serve, and enjoy.
