Banana Muffins with Streusel Topping



You may notice allot of banana recipes on this blog.  We eat these regularly and sometimes don't eat those bananas fast enough so they become very ripe, especially with the heat wave we have been having!  Now since the girls and I enjoy baking and trying out new recipes this is rarely a problem.  A quick search and a few minutes later we are off creating some new treat.  My friend Stephanie posted a really cute picture of her girls streuseling muffins and that was the inspiration.  These are so good!  They have enough spice to make the muffin part flavorful, but the topping is really what makes you grab that second muffin.  Toasting the walnuts and eating warm out of the oven are must do steps.  You could even serve these as dessert with a scoop of ice-cream and drizzle of carmel.

Recipe Modifications
  • Used pasteurized egg product
  • Used salted butter, I was out of unsalted
  • Used skim milk, recipe still turned out amazing
  • Used 2 and a half bananas 
  • Cooked recommended 25 minutes but may try 22 minutes next time.  New pan cooks fast!
