Creative Rut: Creation #2: Banana Crumb Muffins!

Hi!! So the beginning of today started out rainy and unproductive, which is why it has taken me so long to get on the computer and post. Anyway, after making an effort to clean my place the other day, I stumbled upon the idea for Creation #2.

Inspiration: My overly ripened bananas!!!

I hate when I buy fruit and it goes to waste so I was thinking about what I can do to use up my bananas. I usually make banana bread but then sometimes I make too much and that goes to waste. As i was browsing photos of all the delicious treats, I stumbled upon a banana crumb muffin recipe on Allrecipes.com! I tweaked it a little bit. So below is the journey of Creation #2 along with the recipe with my additional tweaks.

1 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 bananas, mashed
3/4 cup white sugar
1 egg lightly beaten
1/3 cup butter, melted

Crumb Topping

1/3 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoon flour
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter

Oven: 375 degrees F Bake time: 18-20 minutes

In a large bowl combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl beat bananas, sugar, egg, and butter. Stir banana mixture into the flour mixture until well combined and moist. Fill greased or lined muffin pan with mix.

For crumb topping, in a small bowl combine brown sugar and flour. Cut butter into the small bowl and combine with fork or whisk so that the butter is distributed evenly and that the mixture has a cornmeal like consistency. Top muffins with crumb mixture. Bake for 18-20 minutes and ENJOY!!

All of my ingredients! (Another reason i chose this recipe was because i had everything! No grocery shopping required.)
