Banana Muffins

 

When I have too many ripe bananas, I always make banana Bread   That's because we love my Chocolate Chip Banana Bread.  But I wanted to try something different.  I came across this banana muffin recipe that looked delicious, and I was in a baking mood.  So  I made it and we loved, loved, loved it!

Banana Muffins

1 ½ cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
3 bananas mashed
¾ cup white sugar
1 egg
1/3 cup butter, melted

Topping:

1/3 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
2 Tablespoons all purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1 Tablespoon butter

In a small bowl, mix together the topping ingredients:  brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour and cinnamon.  Cut in 1 Tablespoon butter until mixture looks crumbly.  Set aside.

In a large bowl, mix together 1 ½ cups flour, baking soda, baking powder, sugar, egg, bananas and melted butter. (I use a hand mixer)  Spoon into prepared muffin cups.

Sprinkle topping mixture over muffins.

Bake at 375 for 18 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of muffin comes out clean.
