The BEST Banana Muffins You Will Ever Have!!!

This is my Banana Crumble Muffin recipe that I found online and put my own twist on it!

These are seriously so yummy you won't be able to stop eating them! Luckily, you can eat them and not feel too guilty..their relatively healthy!! They could be even more healthy if you wanted to substitute half wheat flour!.. I personally like a treat every now and then anyways :)!

To begin:
Preheat you oven to 375 degrees
Have your muffin pan out and prepared for greasing, having your nonstick cooking spray in reach!
(or muffin tins.. i didnt use muffin tins because I thought the muffins looked so beautiful without ..the deep rich browns with speckles of yummy cinnamon)
Have two large bowls at easy access for wet & dry ingredients.
Have your food processor out with regular blade attached just for pulsing together the crumble topping.
Hand Mixer with beaters attached.
Good wooden spoon.


What you will need:
for the muffin :
1-1/2 Cups all-purpose flour
 1 heaping teaspoon baking soda
 1 heaping teaspoon baking powder
 1/2 teaspoon salt
 3 large very ripe bananas, mashed
 3/4 cup white sugar
 1 large egg, lightly beaten
 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
 1 heaping teaspoon of cinnamon ( or just measure a teaspoon and sprinkle in a good dash extra)

for the crumble:
1/3 cup light brown sugar packed
2 leveled tablespoons of all-purpose flour
a good dash of cinnamon ( 1/2 a teaspoon i'd say)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter very cold (keep in refridgerator until ready to use)

How to prepare:
In a large bowl combined the dry ingredients and mix well with a whisk.
includes: flour,baking soda,baking powder,salt,and cinnamon

In a seperate bowl combined wet ingredients and mix well with a hand mixer until creamed and fluffy.
includes:ashed bananas (mash directly into the mixing bowl with wooden spoon following with,melted butter and sugar ..mixed until fluffy, mix in the egg that if lightly beaten prior to adding.

Then with a spoon mix in the wet ingredients to the dry, mixing gently and just until all wet and the dry and wet are combined..DO NOT OVER MIX!

In your food processor pulse brown sugar and cinnamon, then bring butter out of fridge and pulse just until it ressembles coarse corn meal! DO NOT OVER PULSE! you want little specks of butter throughout!

Grease your muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray..  (makes  10 muffins)
spoon in your muffin mixture into 10 muffin cups evenly then use a seperate spoon and spoon crumble mixture from food processor over the top!

bake for 15-20 minutes.. every oven is different! always start at 15 minutes and check with a toothpick inserted in center. . when it comes out clean its ready: wait 2-4 minutes than remove from muffin pan so the do not over cook.. place on a plate or onto a cooling rack


for extra yumminess (totally optional but i think would be AMAZING)

take 1 good large lemon, juice it..
add in some powdered sugar til pale in color and taste to your desire.. and it easy to drizzle..

drizzle over top..

yummmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!
