Banana Crumb Muffins


Yummy banana bread style muffins from Lisa Kreft, All Recipes.

Ingredients
  • 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
  • Topping
    • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
    • 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
    • 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
    • 1 Tbsp butter

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 375F.
  2. Lightly grease 10 muffin cups, or line with muffin papers.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together first amount of flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
  4. In another bowl, beat together bananas, sugar, egg and melted butter. 
  5. Stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture just until moistened. 
  6. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.
  7. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, second amount of flour and cinnamon. 
  8. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. 
  9. Sprinkle topping over muffins.
  10. Bake in preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean.
(Topping is quite good out of the oven, but gets soft in storage.  Good with or without.)
