Banana-Walnut Muffins with Crumb Topping

One of my best friends (who I will eventually open a bakery with) shared an amazing recipe with me.  I'm currently on a banana kick and of course I love muffins.  So I had to give this a try.




This is what you need.


Mash the four bananas up with a good old fork and arm power.


Mix up your bananas, egg, sugar, cinnamon, and melt butter.


Add the flour, baking powder, and baking soda to the mixture.


Just FYI, My Pampered Chef chopper is probably one of my favorite kitchen tools.




Add the walnuts to the mixture.


Next, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, and more chopped walnuts.  Mix it all up and fork in the tablespoon of butter.


Cook for 20 minutes on 375 degrees.


They are simply amazing...

Muffin

1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
4 bananas (mashed)
¾ cup white sugar
¼ tsp. cinnamon
1 egg (lightly beaten)
1/3 cup butter (melted)
½ c. chopped walnuts

Walnut Crumb Topping
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
½ c. finely chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter

Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees and line 12 muffin cups with paper cups. In a large bowl mix 1 ½ cups flour, baking powder, soda and salt. In a separate bowl beat together bananas, sugar, cinnamon, egg and melted butter. Stir banana mixture into the flour mixture just until moist and combined. Stir in walnuts. Fill muffins cups.
In a small bowl mix brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, walnuts and ground cinnamon. Cut in 1 tablespoon of butter until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over the top of the muffins.
Place into the oven and bake for 17 to 20 minutes.
