Crumb Topped Banana Muffins

Okay, don't be fooled. I don't bake during the week on a regular. I usually save that for the weekends unless it's the holidays. I just happened to get lucky last night because Tasha mixed up days and cooked dinner on my night by accident. So I had spare time to make something sweet for mi familia. Marky Bo's girlfriend Hannah was over for dinner with her daughter Iga too so we had a big group of helpers aka eaters. lol

I've been wanting to do a banana muffin with crumb topping for a while now because that topping is always a fave and you can never go wrong with banana. It turned out so yummy! I used a recipe that I found and altered it a little to make it just the way we like. They were gone before I got a chance to save one for breakfast. I also managed to do a giveaway so that was sweet as well! Miss Losili won the muffins and it was fitting since her birthday is this week. You can find the recipe and directions below. Enjoy!

This recipe makes about 15 muffins. I tripled it for our house.
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 bananas, mashed
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/3 cup butter, melted

Topping
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons butter

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, mix flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, beat together bananas, sugar, egg, vanilla and melted butter. Stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture to combine.Scoop batter (I used a 1/4 cup scooper that looks like it's for scooping ice cream) into muffin cups lined with cupcake paper liners.In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and 6 tablespoons flour. Add 3 tablespoons soft butter until mixture looks like slightly damp crumbs.Sprinkle topping over muffins. I added a lot of the crumb topping. That's the best part! Bake in preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean. Or until they are super golden brown.
We ate them 10 minutes after they came out of the oven. Nice and hot!
