Banana Crumb Muffins
Let’s get this straight. I hate bananas. Can’t stand ‘em. I only came up with this recipe to get rid of the ones that were rotting on my counter. I have only made these and not tasted them*, but have gotten rave reviews, so take that for what it’s worth.
*ok, I made these again and…they were good – but don’t tell anyone or I’ll be ousted as head of the ‘I hate bananas’ club!
ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large ripe bananas, mashed
3/4 white sugar
1 egg
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
crumb topping
1/4 cup white sugar
3 Tablespoons flour
1/8 cup butter, cubed
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare cupcake pan with paper liners. Sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
Mash bananas with sugar, egg, and melted butter in a large bowl. Fold in flour mixture, and mix until smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan.
In a small bowl, mix together the crumb topping. Liberally sprinkle it over the tops of the muffins, obviously, cleanliness is not a factor here.
Bake for 20-25 minutes. Testing with a toothpick til it comes out clean. Let cool on a wire rack. These are delicious! Or so I’ve heard…

That’s very nice of you to cook with something you hate. I am not nice enough to do that.

I didn’t really care for these muffins. I don’t know if it was the bananas I used or what but they left a weird aftertaste.

Well, there’s nothing else weird in there but bananas. And you know, I hate bananas, so I’m always one to blame them.

WHOA!!!!!! These are excellent. Seriously, you have to make these (AND eat them)…easier than the cupcakes, and more breakfast-y. But there must be other people besides me who sometimes eat cake for breakfast…by the way, the blueberry mochi tastes great straight from the fridge, and for breakfast.
