Banana Muffins this time!

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

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.

  3. Susan, I thought a better header would be "I've Gone Bananas" would be so much more appropriate!!

    Have 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!

  14. I 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!

    It's a long standing joke in my family!

  15. 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.

    Thanks for sharing this favorite!

  16. 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.

  27. Those 'keeper' muffins wouldn't keep very long around here.
    Fact is, I could use one of those crumbly-topped morsels right now.
