These muffins turned out pretty well and were really easy to put together.
I had some bananas on my counter that I needed to use soon so I looked up banana dessert recipes and this recipe popped up.
I have never been a big fan of baked banana goods and have never made any so I was a little apprehensive about weather or not I would like these but decided to take a chance so I could use up my bananas.
I found the recipe here:
Muffins:
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3 bananas, mashed
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/3 cup butter, melted
Topping:
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 Tbs flour
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1 Tbs butter
Directions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a small bowl - mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt together and set aside. I actually just realized I left out the salt and mine still taste great.
The next step is to mash your bananas - I had never done this before and found that a fork worked the best when they were chunky and a spoon worked best in the end to get them really smooth.
Then mix in the sugar, egg and butter. I actually only used about 1 Tbs of butter and made the rest of the 1/3 cup up with cinnamon applesauce to make them more healthy.
After that is combined, add the flour mixture just until moist.
Evenly pour batter into a 12-slot greased or paper-lined regular muffin tin. The original recipe said it would make 10 muffins but it easily made 12. Don't mind the Christmas muffin liners - all I have are seasonal patterns.
Mix the topping ingredients together until it resembles a course crumble. Then sprinkle topping over the 12 muffins.
Bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
This is what you end up with. These are soooo good when they are warm! I might just become a fan of baked banana goods.
