Banana Crumb Muffins

Muffins!

I don’t care what you say, muffins are absolutely an acceptable breakfast. And these banana crumb muffins? Oh boy… What a great way to start the day. Brew up a hot cup of tea, give me one of these muffins, and I’m a happy camper – unless it’s Monday. In which case I’ll need two cups of tea.

I get inspired to do my baking on weekend mornings. We’re up pretty early with Baby Boy, so while I feed him his breakfast I start to think about what I want to bake. Sometimes that inspiration comes from surprising places, like his baby food (really), other times it’s a matter of what we have on hand that I need to use up, like a few brown bananas.

I whipped these banana crumb muffins up during Baby Boy’s Saturday nap, and they were out and photographed before he was awake – I love easy recipes like that.

Don’t listen to Rachel the naysayers. Muffins can be, and indeed are, an acceptable form of breakfast. So the next time you have a lazy Saturday or Sunday morning coming up, grab yourself some overripe bananas, make these muffins, and enjoy with a big steaming cup of tea and your newspaper.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 bananas, mashed
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease 10 muffin cups, or line with muffin papers.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups 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, 2 tablespoons flour and cinnamon. Cut in 1 tablespoon butter until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Sprinkle topping over muffins.
  4. Bake in preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean.
