and you thought another banana bread? I think I finally found perfection with banana bread. We absolutely love that last recipe I tried, but I'm always open to try another! So with this week's brown speckled banana's I made Banana Nut Streusel Muffins. Rosemary posted the recipe over at gardenbuddies.
One word. KEEPER! These are fantastic, even with lousy baking skills such as mine, these came out so moist, so light and so good! I used brown sugar for the white, and maybe next time would use a little less sugar. and I added pecans. These are a really nice change from the banana loaves my family has come to expect! Thank you, Rosemary, these were delicious!
Banana Crumb Muffins
Source: posted Rosemary at gardenbuddies, original recipe from Allrecipes – Lisa Kreft
adapted There's Always Thyme to Cook
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 bananas, mashed
3/4 cup white sugar ( I used brown sugar, not packed)
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan, or line with muffin papers. I used silicone muffin cups!
In a large bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, beat together bananas, sugar, egg and melted butter. Stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture just until moistened. Mix in the pecans, if using. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.
In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour and cinnamon. Cut in 1 tablespoon butter until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Sprinkle topping over muffins.
Bake in preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean.

I Love muffins and bananas .... yummmmmm!
ReplyDeleteThe crumb crust sounds wonderful! I think I'll start calling you There's Always Time for Banana Bread ;)
ReplyDeleteSusan, I thought a better header would be "I've Gone Bananas" would be so much more appropriate!!
ReplyDeleteHave to admit these sound wonderful - since I have made one of your banana breads (and loved it) these will be on the list for the next bunch of ripe bananas!
These look so delicious!! I love banana bread and as muffins with the crumb topping. YUM!!! We haven't had any too ripe bananas lately :(
ReplyDeleteAH! Banana muffins. This recipe looks like a new twist on an old favourite. :)
ReplyDeleteYum...Yum...lovely. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
ReplyDeletewonderful looking treats!
ReplyDeletestop by my kitchen blog and please consider linking a treat or two to the ongoing link party page Holiday Treats @NorthDakotaKitchen.blogspot
I also just did a review of silicone (and a giveaway)and my favorite is the muffin cups! I see you use them too, do you like them?
KEEPER muffins ~ sounds like I recipe I should try :) I have some bananas on the counter now so maybe tomorrow I will make some of these delicious looking muffins!
ReplyDeleteThese look & sound great, I just wish I had some for my coffee in the morning :-)
ReplyDeleteI always seem to have bananas getting too ripe on the counter. They would be perfect for your recipe.
ReplyDeleteI love banana anything and these look delicious!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'd go APE over these! They look good. Crumbs make everything better!
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmmm, these are my favorite types of muffin with their crispy golden crunchy tops. Yum! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and leaving such a sweet comment. Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteI am not much of a baker, but I think even I could make those! I have the knack of not once, not twice, but like 10 times forgetting to put sugar in my muffins!
ReplyDeleteIt's a long standing joke in my family!
Delicious! Of all the fruits, banana tops the list. I never tried brown sugar, but sure looks yummy! My counterpart of your Ms Picky does not like the cinnamon, so I skip this part.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this favorite!
Drooling on the keyboard is not a good idea - but hard to avoid it when this kind of recipe comes up. I love banana bread and think I have the definitive recipe - but these muffins look very, very good.
ReplyDeleteIf you say it's a keeper then I believe you. I've already printed it.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm feeling so hungry! These look great!
ReplyDeleteI think I can smell them! I, too, have printed it our and think I will serve them with the Cranberry Nut bread at breakfast Thanksgiving Day! Thank you! Cathy
ReplyDeleteNot a lot to say about this recipe but yummy...love banana muffins!
ReplyDeleteOh, yum yum! These muffins look and sound so good! I love muffins and have one almost every morning for breakfast. I must try your recipe.
ReplyDeletebe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Those muffins looks so cute and adorable. My hubby's favorite too. Thanks for posting this! I sure should make it to him soon ( if he's nice)
ReplyDeleteOhmygosh - these look scrumptious! My mouth is watering. . . and I'm ashamed I've only had a Diet Coke with Lime and a couple of crunchy Cheetos this morning.
ReplyDeleteThese look so great. Love that recipe.
ReplyDeleteYour got such a wonderful crust on your muffins! They look so good! I love pecans too...yum.
ReplyDeleteYummy! they look delicious.
ReplyDeleteClever you! I'd much rather try it muffin style than bread. Always makes me feel like I'm eating less. :0
ReplyDeleteLove the crumb topping!
Those 'keeper' muffins wouldn't keep very long around here.
ReplyDeleteFact is, I could use one of those crumbly-topped morsels right now.
These muffins are definitely the winner! I can't get enough of the crumb atop.
ReplyDeletethis is a keeper..i have it bookmarked. thanks for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteWow, looks totally yummy! Will have to try out the recipe.
ReplyDeleteThey do look good! I'll have to try them soon.
ReplyDeleteI made similar muffins last year with carrots and golden raisins and I can't find the recipe. They were delicious!
ReplyDeleteYum, thanks for linking this in, Carol. Have a good one
