Banana Crumb Muffins

May 12, 2010 By Jelli 6 Comments

 Ten Things (of many) that really float my boat:
1. Husband singing songs made up just for me.
2. Boundless Webzine
3. Running in the rain with Husband
4. The Cheesecake Factory
5. God’s Truth
6. Passionate people
7. Travel
8. Snorkeling
9. Going to the gym
10. Muffins that have strong, lofty domes
I love these muffins! They were the tastiest banana muffins I’ve had in a long time. The buttery brown sugar and cinnamon crumb topping is what separates these muffins from the crowd. Yum. Yum. Now, don’t get too excited just yet. Be sure you have time first. You will not have the luxury of 1 bowl cleaning that follows most muffin recipes. If you’re like me, you’ll realize that somehow dishes seemed to really pile up in the sink after mixing up these lovely bites. You have been warned. Don’t let that stop the banana goodness!
Banana Crumb Muffins

From Allrecipes.com
For the muffins:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 bananas, mashed
3/4 cup white sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup butter, melted
For the topping:
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter

Preheat oven to 375°.  Lightly grease 10 *Mine made 11 muffin cups, or line with muffin papers.
In a large bowl, mix together 1 ½ cups flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, beat together bananas, sugar, egg, cinnamon and melted butter. Stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture just until moistened. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.

In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour and cinnamon. Cut in 1 tablespoon butter until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Sprinkle topping over muffins.

Bake in preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes before removing from pan.

    I think these would make my list of top 10 things I love for a couple of reasons, first bananas and second, crumb topping!
