Banana Crumb Muffins

My sister-in-law, Mandee, is having a recipe contest (since with the price of gas eating out is too darn spendy) so I have some recipes to share!

This is a great recipe that only calls for three ripe bananas and if you want to make them a bit more special, throw in some chocolate chips! I usually include 2 tblsp of Flaxseed Meal and switch 1/2 cup of all purpose flour for whole wheat flour to up the nutrition content a bit.

Banana Crumb Muffins

1 tsp cinnamon
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 oil

1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 tblsp all-purpose flour
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tblsp butter, melted

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease 12 muffin cups, or line with muffin papers.

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

3. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and melted butter. Cut together until crumbly. Sprinkle over the tops of the muffin batter.

4. Bake in a preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of one comes out clean.
