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. However, these have gotten rave reviews and I actually like them a lot too, 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 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 cup butter, cubed

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prep a muffin pan with liners.

In a bowl whisk 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 the prepped liners.

In a small bowl, mix together the crumb topping by mixing together the sugar, flour and cinnamon. Cut in the cubed butter. Liberally sprinkle it over the tops of the muffins, obviously, cleanliness is not a factor here.

Bake for 20-25 minutes depending on your oven until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool on a wire rack.

These are a great way to get rid of overripe bananas!
