Banana Crumb Muffins

If you worked at Prague Elementary over the last year it's very possible you've had these muffins. They are the only banana muffins I make. Moist and flavorful with a crunchy sweet topping. Everyone who tries them agrees they are wonderful!

Banana Crumb Muffins

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3 ripe bananas (mashed)
3/4 cup white sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/3 cup butter, melted

Crumb Topping (I double this!)
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 Tbs all purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1 Tbs butter

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease 12 muffin cups or line with muffin papers. (I always spray my muffin papers lightly with cooking spray)

In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, powder & salt. In another bowl, beat together bananas, sugar, egg & melted butter. Stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture just until moistened. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups.

In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, flour & cinnamon. Cut in 1 Tbs butter until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. To be honest here, I use my hands for this part. Wash em real good and just dig in there and mix it up. I also DOUBLE the topping every time! Sprinkle topping over prepared batter. Add a few chopped nuts or a whole one on top. (just for looks)

Bake for 18 - 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

If your bananas aren't super ripe add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar. You want them sweet!
