It might seem that I am on a muffin mission
since may last post was also a muffin post (Apple Crisp Muffins). I am not.
Actually, I had no intention to make banana muffins.
I did have some overripe bananas that I
was going to give to a friend so she could make muffins for a meeting. Somehow
the bananas were never exchanged and at the last minute I quickly stirred up
some muffins for her (about a 10 min. prep).
She said they were good and I thought the
crumb topping looked nice and added an interesting texture component.
Banana Crumb
Muffins
Muffins:
|

| I used an old-fashioned potato masher to mash the bananas. |
c. Stir
banana mixture into the flour mixture just until moistened. Do not over stir!
(The is the key to great muffins is to not over mix!)
3. Spoon
batter into prepared muffin cups.
4. Crumb Topping:
a. In
a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour and cinnamon.
b. Cut
in 1 tablespoon butter with a fork until mixture is coarse crumbs.
c. Sprinkle
over muffins.
5. Bake
for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin
comes out clean.
