Banana Muffins

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3 bananas (mashed)
3/4 cup white sugar
1 egg (lightly beaten)
1/3 cup butter (melted)
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter

Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees and grease 10 muffin cups (or line with muffin papers). In a large bowl mix 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl beat together bananas, sugar, egg and melted butter. Stir banana mixture into the flour mixture just until moist and combined. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.

To make streusel - in a large brown mix brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour and ground cinnamon. Cut in 1 tablespoon of butter until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle streusel over the top of the muffins.

Place into the oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

*D: I love these muffins! Anything with streusel is great, but these are fabulous. In all seriousness, don't over mix. You'll get whole-y tunnel-y muffins. Lumps are ok in the batter. These muffins do lack the crunch you get when you add nuts, so if you want to go ahead and put them in. But please, if you use anything other than almonds, don't tell me. Almonds are my nut of choice, and I couldn't bare to hear you put walnuts in this recipe. Shudder. Pin It
