Banana Crumb Muffins
Moist and flavorful banana muffins topped with a brown sugar crumb topping that will melt in your mouth.
This is one of those old family recipes that is just plain good! It’s so simple and purely delicious. Everyone in the family is in love with this recipe and these banana crumb muffins sure don’t last long in our house!
This is the perfect muffin for any banana lover and the brown sugar crumb topping is perfect! This is one of my all time favorite muffins and with bananas getting ripe in the house, I had to make these. The aroma that filled the house was AMAZING and it was so tempting to pop one in my mouth while I was taking pictures. Ahh they are so good!
BAKING TIP
Pecans, chocolate chips, or walnuts would make a great addition to theses banana muffins, I added 1/2 cup of pecans to the batter and sprinkled a handful of pecans and sugar crystals on top for an added crunch!

Oh, yum! Too bad I don’t have any ripe bananas right now, or I might just be heading into the kitchen to make these. Love the brown sugar topping. I think I would add a few finely chopped pecans to the topping, too.
