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!
Kid's lunches, simple dinners and a whole lot of geeky baking.
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.
deanna-i would say to give it another go.these muffins were amazing! and im not to fond of bananas or cinnamon.my famliy devoured them in 2 days.yummmers!
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.
