Banana Crumb Muffins

 These Banana Crumb Muffins are moist, flavorful, and have a sweet crumb topping that adds a nice texture to each bite.

A few weeks back I did a freezer clean out and inventory and discovered I have a half dozen bags of bananas.  It never fails, I buy a whole bunch and no matter how many is in it the guys will leave 2 or 3.

Some will be made into waffles and banana bread but I decided on Banana Crumb Muffins from Taste of Home for this month's Muffin Monday. 

I did vary the recipe a bit.  To the dry ingredients I added 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and to the wet I added 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

I really loaded the muffin cups up so I got 10.  This meant each one got a bit more of the crumb topping but there's certainly nothing wrong with that! 

The smell of these baking even rousted my kid off his video game to come and investigate. He then hovered while they cooled and I took photos. He snagged 2 and disappeared and shortly after I got a text with thumbs up emojis. 

I absolutely agree with him, these are fantastic. I'm betting they would also make great mini or full size loaves as well, definitely going to give that a try soon.
