I decided to bake some muffins today.. and mmmm.. this recipe is very very good.. The muffins were very moist & tasty.. It tasted like banana bread, but IMO, the muffins tasted much much better :D .. I only made half, and I did made some adjustment (again!) to the recipe.. Thanks to the people at All Recipes for the suggestions..

 

 

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 bananas, mashed [I only had small bananas at my house, so I used four & half]
3/4 cup white sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/3 cup butter, melted [I used cooking oil]

::Topping::
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter

Method

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.
3. Stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture just until moistened. [Don’t overmix the batter!] Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.
4. For the topping: 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. [I decided to sprinkle the the topping about 5 minutes before taking them out of the oven… This prevents the crumb topping from melting into the muffin and to keep the muffins from getting soggy the next day.. I think I was supposed to sprinkle the crumbs all over the top of the muffins.. As you can see in the picture above, I didn’t do that.. hmm.. I’ll try to do that the next time]
5. Bake in preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean.

 

Thank you so much Lisa for this great muffin recipe!!
