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!

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.
