Banana Crumb Muffins

Last week I made Banana Bread but it was a little bit too moist in the middle.  I've found that when that happens (cornbread, cakes, etc.) I just make them in the muffin tins and it's a perfect match.  So after going to a baby shower this morning where they served banana muffins with a yummy crumb topping I decided to try it with my recipe for breakfast in the morning (we have early church so I like to make muffins the night before).  They turned out super yummy!!

From the Pamela's Products Website:

Ingredients:

• 4 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1/2 cup sugar or honey
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup banana, mashed
• 1-3/4 cups Pamela's Baking & Pancake Mix
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 cup nuts (optional)

Directions:

Beat together butter, sugar or honey, eggs and banana. Add remaining ingredients and mix together. Pour into a large greased loaf pan.

Bake in a preheated 350° oven for 23 minutes for muffins, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. 

Yummy crumb topping found here:

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/8 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 t ground cinnamo

1 T butter

In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Cut the butter until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.

Sprinkle topping over muffins.
